It is also known for its rustic humour, brave soldiers, dairy products, Murrah buffalos and Basmati rice.
As they drive through, tourists are treated to the view of neat and abundant green fields, and a growing number of modern residential complexes and industrial townships. For those who want to relax for some time during the journey, there are numerous roadside resorts with which the state government has dotted all the major highways. However, there is much more to discover and enjoy in the state of Haryana.
A mere 30 km from the centre of the Indian capital New Delhi, Haryana is a fairly new state, coming into being as recently as 1966 as a breakaway from the imposing Punjab.
But what cannot be forgotten are the glorious battles for the Indian sub-continent fought on this very soil centuries ago in Panipat, the glistening ancient Indian heritage and the genesis of the very foundations of religious Indian scriptures. This is the land that bore the brunt of the invading Afghan forces for over three centuries, where armies pitched camps and engaged in gruesome battles for the riches and vastness of Hindustan.
