Question

What are the various issues after the linguitics reorganization of state in 1956?

Answer 1

Answer:

At the time of independence in 1947, India consisted of 571 disjointed princely states that were merged together to form 27 states. The grouping of states at the time was done on the basis of political and historical considerations rather than on linguistic or cultural divisions, but this was a temporary arrangement. On account of the multilingual nature and differences that existed between various states, there was a need for the states to be reorganized on a permanent basis.

The States Reorganisation Act of 1956 remains the single most extensive change in state boundaries since the Independence of India in 1947. It took 9,000 interviews, visits to 104 places and 1,52,250 memorandums before the Act, creating 14 states and six Union territories, was passed. The Act led to the formation of Kerala and Bombay. A new article was also added to the Constitution that ensured linguistic minorities the right of education in their mother tongue.
