==HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY==
Madhya Pradesh is the second largest Indian State in size with an area of 3,08,000
sq.km. Geographically it occupies a pivotal position in the country.
King Ashoka, first among all, ruled over Ujjain. A sizeable portion of Central
India was part of the Gupta empire (300-500 A.D.). The Muslims came into Central
India in the beginning of 11th century. First of all, Mahamood of Ghazni came over
here and then Mohammad Gouri, who incorporated some parts of Central India
into his ruling territory of Delhi. Central India was also part of the Mughal empire.
During the period between the beginning of the influence of Marathas and the death
of Madhoji Scindia in 1794, Marathas were on the ascendent in Central India but
later on the small states started coming into existence. These small states became
the cause of perpetuation of British power in the country.

Queen Ahilyabai Holkar of Indore, the Gond Maharani Kamalapati and Queen
Durgawati, etc. were women rulers whose names have left an indelible imprint on
Indian history for their outstanding rule. Madhya Pradesh came into being on 1
November 1956. It was reorganised on 1 November 2000 to create a new
Chhattisgarh state. The successive state, now, is bounded in north by Uttar Pradesh,
east by Chhattisgarh, south by Maharashtra and west by Gujarat and Rajasthan.

	The erotic 10th century Khajuraho sculptures built by the Chandela kings contrast sharply with the serene Sanchi stupa erected by Emperor Asoka (3rd century BC), yet both the Hindu and Buddhist structures symbolise Madhya Pradesh's monumental historical legacy. Equally powerful is the state's literary tradition: the classical Sanskrit poet Kalidasa's Meghadootam was a serenade of love for the beauty of prosperous Ujjain under King Vikramaditya just as the modern-day novel, A River Sutra, by Gita Mehta, is an ode to the holy river Narmada, lifeline of MP.

		+	Meanwhile, the rugged rock-cut Udayagiri caves, the Bhimbetka rock shelters in Raisen district, the ornately built Jahangir Mahal in Orchha, the royal Rajwada in Indore, the great lakes of Bhopal built by the Paramara Raja Bhoj of Malwa, the palaces of Gwalior, the ancient Kal Bhairav temple, the Panch Pandav caves and the Ujjain Simhastha make MP a tourist's paradise no less than Rajasthan or Kerala. In sharp contrast to neighbouring Rajasthan's Thar desert, MP, nicknamed "the heart of India", with magnificent parks such as the Satpura national park in Pachmarhi, Bandhavgarh Tiger Safari, Kanha Tiger Reserve and Pench National Park near Seoni echo the enduring world of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book.
		+
		+	Against such awesome architectural splendour, rich literature and history and despite a thick forest area of 77,462 square kilometres, covering 30 per cent of the state, MP was part of the BIMARU (acronym along with Bihar, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh for their poor economic status) states and the Empowered Action Group (EAG) states in the past. The reason is not far to seek: with 6 per cent of India's population and 9.4 per cent of the country's territory, MP still constitutes only 4 per cent of India's GDP, batting much below its potential. Even among the EAG states, MP is somewhat of a mystery, less visible in tourism than neighbouring Rajasthan, less politically salient compared to its northern neighbour Uttar Pradesh and lagging behind its western and southern neighbours Gujarat and Maharashtra in industrial development.
		+
		+	Following Independence, the Madhya Pradesh state was created in 1950 with Nagpur as its capital. This state included the southern parts of present-day MP and the northeastern portion of today's Maharashtra. In 1956, the state was reorganised and combined with the states of Madhya Bharat, Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal to form the new Madhya Pradesh, with Bhopal as its capital. The Marathi-speaking Vidarbha region was removed and merged with the then Bombay state. MP retained the title of India's largest state by geographical area until 2000. In 2000, the Chhattisgarh region was split to create a new state, and Rajasthan ended up becoming the largest state of India by area.
