The Lifestyle Of Chandigarhians
The story behind the city of Chandigarh is not perhaps as old as that of the other major cities of the country. This has also been the reason for the uniqueness of the city and closely associated, the reason for the lifestyle of the inhabitants of the city, which again, is unique in many ways.

The city was conceived and designed after the independence of the country in 1947, to take over the role of capital city of the state of Punjab, which had lost its old capital to Pakistan, it being Lahore. As the people were quite sentimental about this loss, every effort was put into select the most appropriate territory and then to build it up to take over this role in the best possible manner, with the constraints of money, time and space.
