Tarn Taran, India Overview
Tarn Taran district was formed in 2006 from Amritsar District. Tarn Taran is famous as a center of the Sikh insurgency during the 1980s and early 1990s. During the Sikh insurgency, it was said that Tarn Taran would be the capital of "Khalistan", the proposed Sikh independent nation. In 1947, the year of the Partition of India, Tarn Taran was the only Tehsil in Punjab with a majority Sikh population.
The main occupation in this area is agriculture and agroindustry with very few other industries. This area has suffered neglect from successive government administrations.
Tarn Taran district was formed a few years ago, the declaration to this effect was made by Captain Amrinder Singh, Ex-Chief Minister of Punjab during the celebrations marking the martyrdom day of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji. With this, it became the 19th district of Punjab. But till today it seems like a political stunt because no development activities are started after the announcement of the new district.
