Land of Jharkhand irrigated by tribal sacrifices: Prime Minister on the day of the state's creation
RANCHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday greeted the people of Jharkhand at the foundation of the state and said that the sacrifices of the tribal community have irrigated the land here. Jharkhand was carved out of Bihar on November 15, 2000, which happens to be the birth anniversary of Birsa Munda tribal icon.
“Many best wishes to all my brothers and sisters of Jharkhand on the day of the creation of the state. This land, irrigated by the struggles and sacrifices of the tribal community, has always made the country proud. I wish that this state, full of natural resources, progresses rapidly on the path of development,” the Prime Minister wrote on X.

Birsa Munda, known as ‘Dharti Aba’ (Father of the Nation), was born on November 15, 1875. He had led the tribal rebellion against the British and died at the age of 25 while in police custody.
