Freedom for Uttarakhand is only recent. Its struggle for statehood and separation from Uttar Pradesh was finally won in 2000. This upland region has two divisions – hilly Kumaon and mountainous Garhwal. The people of both identify themselves as Pahari (mountain people) and speak their own Indo-Aryan languages as well as Hindi. There is good potential for development, but also great need for it, especially in the hills and mountains.
