Chhattisgarh Born: India's 26th State Emerges
Sixteen districts. One stroke of a pen. India's 26th state, Chhattisgarh, didn't emerge from revolution — it emerged from decades of quiet frustration, as tribal communities in eastern Madhya Pradesh argued their needs were being ignored by a government headquartered hundreds of miles away in Bhopal. The new state capital, Raipur, suddenly had to build institutions almost from scratch. And Chhattisgarh sat atop some of India's richest mineral deposits. That resource wealth didn't bring peace — it brought conflict that still burns today.
