Demand For A Separate State

The region of present day Haryana was made a part of Punjab in 1858 by the British. Due to the active role of people of Haryana in the Revolt of 1857, this region was punished and no significant development work took place. The people of Haryana region were treated a second-class citizens. Moreover, there were many  differences between the people of these two regions like language, clothing and other habits. The demand for a separate state got a boost with the demand of Master Tara Singh for a Punjabi Suba in 1948. Moreover, there were problems between the Hindi-speaking and the Punjabi speaking population.

Sacchar Formula (1949)

To solve this problem, the then Punjab Chief Minister, Shri Bhimsen Sacchar introduced the 'Sacchar Formula' on 1st October, 1949. According to this formula, the state was sub-divided into two parts (i) Punjabi Area           (ii) Hindi Area.

The Hindi area included the districts of Rohtak, Hisar, Gurgaon, Kangra, Karnal and the tehsils of Jagadhari and Naraingarh. The 'Sacchar Formula' could not succeed and it became especially unpopular in the Hindi area.
