Added info about Chandigarh being Punjab's capital
'''Punjab''' is a state of [[India]] in the north western part of the country, near the border with [[Pakistan]]. [[Sikhism]] was founded in the Punjab , and the majority of Punjabis are Sikhs. Punjab is a primarily agricultural region in which [[sugarcane]] and [[corn]] are both extensively cultivated. [[Cattle]] and [[yaks]] are among the main agricultural animals. Unlike many states in India, Punjab is still relatively untouched by industrial and urban development, and a substantial wild [[tiger]] population is still known to exist.

The capital of Punjab is [[Chandigarh]], which was located in the state until 1966, when the state of [[Haryana]] was created. As a result of this, Chandigarh became a union territory of India, and was allowed to remain the capital of Punjab, and also of Haryana.
