Answer 2

Answer:

In 1947 the boundaries of several old states were changed on the basis of language.

Explanation:

• To ensure that individuals who spoke the same language lived in the same state, the borders of some historic Indian states were altered.
• Old states' borders were altered after they gained independence to make room for new states. This was done largely to guarantee that residents of the same state might speak the same language, have similar cultures, etc. New states were created as a result of this.
• The portion of Hyderabad State that spoke Telugu and Andhra State were combined to form Andhra Pradesh.

Under the 1956 States Reorganization Act, the government adopted the Commission's recommendations and split the nation into 14 states and 6 union territories based on language.
