Explanation

Jharkhand was carved out of the southern part of Bihar on November 1, 2000, becoming India's 28th state. The creation fulfilled long-standing demands for a separate state for the tribal regions of the Chota Nagpur Plateau. UP, Madhya Pradesh, and Punjab were not involved in this bifurcation.
