Answers

Answered by VenomBIast

Way back in the 1920s, the Indian National Congress, in the beginning, had promised that after independence, each major linguistic group would have its own province.
After independence, the Congress did not take any steps to honour this promise.
India had been divided on the basis of religion: despite the wishes and efforts of Mahatma Gandhi, freedom had come not to one nation but to two.
As a result of the partition of India, more than ten lakh people had been killed in riots between Hindus and Muslims.
The country could not afford further divisions on the basis of language.
Both Prime Minister Nehru and Deputy Prime Minister Sardar Patel were against the creation of states on the basis of languages.
