HistoryEdit

Ranchi district is one among the twenty-four districts of the state of Jharkhand. Ranchi is the capital of Jharkhand and has a fascinating past to narrate. The city of Ranchi got its name from a mountain bird called ‘Ranchi’. Again, some speculate that the city drew its name from the Oraon village. The origins of the city stretch back to the tribes belonging to the Chota Nagpur Plateau. The Munda and the Oraon are the two aboriginal settlers that lived and ruled in this region. The city continued to remain free from external intrusions until the invasion of the Mughal dynasty. Despite years of insurgency caused by the local chiefs, the Mughal Dynasty captured and plundered the place. In 1757, the Battle of Plassey not only confirmed the English rule in the region but also in the Coromandel Coast. During the Indian freedom struggle, Ranchi was responsible for hosting several anti-British campaigns. To know a detailed account of Ranchi’s history, scroll down the article.
