Hey mate here is your answer....... ☺✌☺

➡India comprises of 36 states and Union territories. Of these, 29 are states while seven are Union Territories. 

➡The political map of India in 1947 was quite different as compared to the present one.

➡ During the British rule, India comprised provinces, which were directly under the rule of the British government and the princely states which were controlled by the local kings. However, these local kings were subservient to the British. 

➡Following the independence of India in 1947, it was a herculean task for the newly formed government to integrate all the princely states into the Indian federation.

➡ Between the years 1947 and 1950, all the princely states were integrated within the Indian Union.

➡Many of the former princely states were either made new provinces or were attached with existing provinces of the country. 

➡On October 1, 1953, the Andhra State was created. The state comprised the Telugu-speaking districts of Madras State. In 1954, the Union Territory of Puducherry was established.

➡ The newly-created Union Territory comprised Yanam, Karaikal, Mahé, and Pondichéry, which were former French enclaves. 

➡In 1956, as a part of the States Reorganization Act, the states in India were arranged on linguistic basis. This resulted in the creation of new states. Andhra Pradesh was created by merging Andhra State with the Telugu speaking area of the Hyderabad State.

➡ Travancore State was merged with the Malabar district of the Madras State to form Kerala state. Patiala and East Punjab States Union were merged with Punjab.

➡Madhya Pradesh was created with the merger of Vindhya Pradesh, Bhopal State and the Madhya Bharat province. 

I HOPE IT IS HELPFUL......☺✌☺
