What happened
Haryana's economy is reported to be one and a half times that of the state it was carved from. Furthermore, Hindi has been adopted as the medium of instruction in schools in Haryana. The state was initially expected to collapse following its formation in 1966, but has since achieved significant economic growth.

Why it matters
The economic divergence between the two states reflects major socio-economic shifts following the state's formation. This growth, combined with changes in language policy, indicates a significant shift in regional economic output and stability.
The capital shift following the Partition of India resulted in a joint capital arrangement for the states of Punjab and Haryana.
