Jharkhand Movement

The Jharkhand Movement was a socio-political movement in India aimed at creating a separate state for the indigenous tribes and communities of the Chotanagpur Plateau region, primarily due to their distinct cultural identity and socio-economic issues. It gained momentum in the 20th century, with demands for political autonomy, land rights, and social justice. After years of protests and political efforts, the movement succeeded when Jharkhand was carved out from Bihar and officially established as a separate state on November 15, 2000. The movement highlights issues of tribal rights, development, and regional identity in India.
