*History Of Himachal Pradesh*
Himachal Pradesh was inhabited since the aurora of civilization. Indus valley civilization was the first to set its foot on the hills of Himachal Pradesh between 2250 and 1750 BC. This was followed by Mongoloids and then Aryans. Then flourished the era of dynasties, Chandragupta with his prowess took control of the republics of Himachal, and his grandson Ashoka extended his boundaries to the Himalayan region. Thakurs and Ranas reigned in the hilly terrain for a brief period until Harsha rose to power in the early 7th century. After his death in 647 AD, many Rajput rulers fought amongst themselves, few moved to Rajasthan while defeated ones ascended to Himachal. Mughals reinstated their hold at the beginning of the 10th century with the entry by Mahmud Ghaznavi who first conquered Kangra. Timur and Sikander Lodi made their way to Himachal through the lower hills and fought many battles and took charge of several forts.

With the downfall of the Mughal dynasty, the Katoch rulers of Kangra grew up to prominence and Kangra regained independence status under Maharaja Sansar Chand who ruled for nearly half a century. Under the leadership of Amar Singh Thapa, Gorkhas from Nepal began to expand their territory and took over Sirmour and Shimla. After defeating Sansar Chand in 1806 they finally captured Kangra, however, they failed to capture Kangra fort and in 1806 Maharaja Ranjeet Singh took charge of the fort. By 1858, the region came under the British Crown. Then began the independence movement with Mandi conspiracy in 1914-15, the Pajhota agitation in 1942. Post-independence Himachal Pradesh was declared as Union Territory and later hill areas of Punjab were merged in Himachal. The State of Himachal Pradesh Act was passed by Parliament on 18th December 1970 and on 25th January 1971 Himachal Pradesh was listed as the eighteenth state of India.
