The creation of states based on language has actually made the country more united.
Explanation:
- The formation of linguistic states was a major test for "democratic politics" in our nation. In the year 1947, the borders of old states where changed to form new states based on language.
- However, some states were not created based on language bit based on ethnicity, culture, or geography. These states comprised Uttarakhand, Jharkand, & Nagaland. States such as Maharashtra, Punjab, & Andhra Pradesh were created based on the language.
- Our Constitution provides a language policy which protects our country's languages. In addition to Hindi, 22 other languages are recognized by the Constitution as scheduled languages under this policy. There was no national language status in our Constitution. Hindi was identified as the official language, English was to be stopped in 1965 for official purposes. Nevertheless, several non-Hindi-speaking states had called for English to continue to be used.
- Thus, the central govt agreed that English along with Hindi should continue to be used for official purposes. Besides Hindi, every state has its own official languages. The borders of several old India states were changed to create new states following independence. It made sure people who are speaking the same language lived in the same state.
- Initially when the demand of state formation based on language was raised, the then ruling government had feared that it would result in the disintegration of the nation. However, experience demonstrated that language formula had actually led to the unity of nation and also made administration easier
