Haryana was carved out of Punjab in 1966. The state of Haryana was created to provide a homeland for the Hindu majority of the former Punjab province. The state of Punjab was divided into two parts, with the Hindu-majority areas becoming Haryana and the Sikh-majority areas remaining as Punjab. The creation of Haryana was a controversial decision, and it led to violence between Hindus and Sikhs. However, the state of Haryana has since become a stable and prosperous part of India.
