Ranchi /ˈrɑːntʃi/ ( Hindi (help·info)) is the capital of the Indian state of Jharkhand. Jharkhand accounts for 40% of the mineral resources of India. Earlier most of the part in Jharkhand was covered by forest but now due to urbanization trees are cut and forest cover is depleting fast. Since 2011 census Ranchi now is one of the 53 million-plus cities of India and stands as the 46th largest city out of top 53.[citation needed]. Ranchi was the centre of the Jharkhand movement for a separate state for the tribal regions of South Bihar, northern Orissa, Western West Bengal and the present eastern Chhattisgarh. Jharkhand State was formed on 15 November 2000 by carving the Bihar divisions of Chota Nagpur and Santhal Parganas.
The name Ranchi comes from the original Oraon village Archi at the site. Archi derives from the Oraon word for bamboo grove or stave. According to legend, after an altercation with a spirit, a farmer beat the spirit with his bamboo stave or archi. The spirit shouted archi, archi, archi and vanished; Archi became Rachi, and Rachi became Ranchi.. One historically significant neighborhood is Doranda ('duran' 'दुरङ' means song and 'daah' 'दअः' means water in the Mundari language), between the Hinoo (Bhusur) & Harmoo Rivers, where the civil station, treasury and church established by the British Raj were destroyed by rebel forces during the Sepoy Mutiny. The present Purani (old) Ranchi marks the site of the old village of Archi.
Emptiness hold my hand and join me here tonight
Let me be your friend
Let's look at girls in fights
Let's get drunk
we've got nothing to lose tonight
Give it away
It's ours so give it away its alright
Could it be that my situation does that it suddenly seems like the worldis coming down on me
I must try and find substance or sense and stability
Don't eject
It just can't be that hard
Don't eject
Change event
It just can't be that hard to change event
I tend to forget that thoughts reflect my words
I better contemplate
Cause words reflect my actions in which some relate
Those I need
In those I need to depend
No escape
I better contemplate it's alright
Could it be that my situation does that it suddenly seems like the world is coming down on me
I must try and find substance or sense and stability
Don't eject
It just can't be that hard
Don't eject
Change event
