India being one the diverse countries of the world with a lot of different cultures all mixed up living as one. It is the seventh-largest country by geographical area, and the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and also the most populous democracy in the world. As of 2011, with an estimated population of 1.21 billion, India is the world 's second most populated country after China. The Indian history goes way back to the time when the Englishmen’s ruled over India and once called it “The Golden Sparrow” and that saying has emerged to be true as India, now as we see it, has become a developed nation from a developing nation. With a total of 28 states and 7 union territories, India has changed a lot cultural-wise as well as architectural-wise. All these states played their own crucial role in building up India’s reputation to this high level. A lot of changes could be seen in India which were not to be seen as of 20 years from now. Out of all these states, I believe that Punjab has played, if not more but equally, important role in the development. Since Punjab is a big state so specifically talking I would say Jalandhar city, after Chandigarh, has been one of the main cities to put an impact on the Indian development. As of 2011 census, Punjab has a total population of 27,704,236
Jalandhar, also known as a City of Sports, is a city in Jalandhar District in the state of Punjab, India. It was called “Prasthala” at the time of Mahabharata and “Jullundur” in British times. It is also said that the city is named after a demon king, Jaldhar, from the Puranas and Mahabharata times. According to another source, Jalandhar was the capital of the kingdom of Raja Lav, son of Lord Rama. According to yet another source, Jalandhar is said to have derived its name from
