Jharkhand, state of India, located in the northeastern part of the country. Jharkhand is bordered by the states of Bihar to the north, West Bengal to the east, Odisha to the south, Chhattisgarh to the west, and Uttar Pradesh to the northwest. Its capital is Ranchi.

Jharkhand, one of India’s newest states, was carved out of the southern portion of Bihar in 2000. Statehood was the culmination of a long struggle carried on primarily by the Adivasis, or Scheduled Tribes (an official term applied primarily to indigenouscommunities that fall outside the predominant Indian caste hierarchy). Indian independence brought relatively little socioeconomic benefit to the people of the Jharkhand area, which led to widespread discontent with the Bihar administration, particularly among the tribal peoples. The tribal groups initiated a call for independence from Bihar, and in the 1980s they became militant in their demand. In the 1990s, the separation movement spread to nontribal communities, ultimately precipitating the creation of a new state. Area 28,833 square miles (74,677 square km). Pop. (2011) 32,966,238.

Relief, drainage, and soils

The most prominent physical feature of Jharkhand is the Chota Nagpur plateau, part of the vast Deccan plateau that occupies most of peninsular India. Chota Nagpur, actually a series of plateaus, hills, and valleys, covers nearly the entire state and consists primarily of crystalline rocks. The main plateaus, Hazaribag and Ranchi, are separated by the faulted sedimentary coal-bearing basin of the Damodar River, and they average about 2,000 feet (610 metres) in elevation. In the west there are more than 300 dissected but flat-topped plateaus (called pats), many with elevations of more than 3,000 feet (900 metres). The highest point in Jharkhand is formed by the conical granite peak of Parasnath, which rises to 4,477 feet (1,365 metres) on the Hazaribag plateau; it is sacred in the Jain religion and to the Santhal people. Lowland plains flank the plateaus in the northwestern and northeastern parts of the state.

In addition to the Damodar River in the northeast, the state is drained by the Subarnarekha River in the southeast and by the Brahmani River in the south. A third major river, the Son, runs along much of the northwestern state boundary. The soil in the Damodar valley is sandy, but heavier red soils are typical of the plateau regions.

Climate

There are three well-defined seasons in Jharkhand. The cold-weather season, from November to February, is the most pleasant part of the year. High temperatures in Ranchi in December usually rise from about 50 °F (10 °C) into the low 70s F (low 20s C) daily. The hot-weather season lasts from March to mid-June. May, the hottest month, is characterized by daily high temperatures in the upper 90s F (about 37 °C) and low temperatures in the mid-70s F (mid-20s C). The season of the southwest monsoon, from mid-June to October, brings nearly all of the state’s annual rainfall, which ranges from about 40 inches (1,000 mm) in the west-central part of the state to more than 60 inches (1,500 mm) in the southwest. Rainfall on the plateau is generally heavier than on the plains. Nearly half of the annual precipitation falls in July and August.

Plant and animal life

More than one-fourth of Jharkhand’s land area is forested. Most forests occur on the Chota Nagpur plateau; those on the plain largely have been cleared to allow cultivation of the land. The natural vegetation is deciduous forest; Chota Nagpur is rich in sal (Shorea robusta), a valuable hardwood. Other trees include the asan (Terminalia tomentosa), the leaves of which provide food for the silkworms of the sericulture industry, as well as several trees that are important in the production of lac (a resinous substance used to make varnishes). The tree locally known as mahua (Madhuca longifolia) yields sweet edible flowers that are used to make liquor. Bamboo and bhabar (an Indian fibre grass; Ischaemum angustifolium) from Chota Nagpur supply raw materials for paper manufacture. Among the other common trees, most of which are found in the plain, are the banyan (Ficus benghalensis), Bo tree (or pipal; Ficus religiosa), and palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer).

The Hazaribag Wildlife Sanctuary is noted for its Bengal tigers. These endangered animals, along with leopards, elephants, and bears, inhabit only the more remote forests. Various species of small mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish are plentiful throughout the state.

Harshvardhan Jadhav is an Indian politician who formerly represented Kannad in Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. He has been a member of Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, Shiv Swarajya Paksha at various times in his political career.

Political career[edit]

Coming from a political family, Jadhav joined politics somewhat reluctantly in 2004, losing the Assembly election that year as an Independent.[5] He was elected to Vidhan Sabha in 2009 from the Kannad Assembly Constituency as a Maharashtra Navnirman Sena nominee. He won the seat for the consecutive term in 2014, but this time he was with Shiv Sena.[6]

Jadhav contested 2019 Lok Sabha election as an independent from Aurangabad. Jadhav gained sizable Maratha support, which resulted in Shiv Sena losing the seat after having won it for 4 consecutive elections.[7][8] In the aftermath, his house was pelted with stones by Shiv Sena supporters for his comments about Uddhav Thackeray.[9][10] While he had floated his own party 'Shiv Swarajya Paksha/Shiv Swarajya Bahujan Paksh', he contested as an Independent.[10][11][12] He later announced that the party will continue fielding candidates in upcoming state elections.[13]

Jadhav rejoined MNS in 2020 and was tasked with playing an influential role in Marathwada politics.[14][15]

He is known for his activism for Maratha reservation and support for Maratha Kranti Morcha.[3][16][17][18]

Retirement from politics[edit]

In May 2020, Jadhav announced that he has retired from politics and would support his wife further her political ambitions.[14][19][20]

Controversies[edit]

In 2011, Jadhav was involved in assault case where he claimed he was assaulted by the police. A counter-case was filed by the police alleging he was the one who instigated the attacks.[21] Two cops were suspended after the incidence[22] and in 2017 Jadhav sentenced to one year in jail.[23] In 2014, He was again in the news for slapping a security officer.[24]

Harshvardhan

In March 2020, a case was registered against Jadhav for verbally assaulting a person from Scheduled caste under the atrocities act.[25] His camp denied allegations and called the charges politically motivated.[26]

Personal life[edit]

Jadhav is the son of Late Raibhan Jadhav, a politician from Indian national congress and also social worker who was locally known as Krishi Maharshi for his agricultural work in the kannad constituency.[2][5]

After series of video posts over previous months,[27] Jadhav filed for divorce in August 2020 citing mental anguish.[28]
