Answers
Some leaders fear when the demand for formation of states on language was raised because they believed that it would create disintegration in the country. They believed that it was segregation.
However the outcome was that;
(i) It made administration easier.
(ii) It created integration.
(iii) Boundaries were renewed to keep the people speaking the same language together.
(iv) It also gave room to creation of cultural states.
(v) It promoted the concept of power sharing.
Answer:
(a) When the demand for the formation of the states on the basis of language was raised, some national leaders feared that it would lead to the disintegration of the country. That is why the central government resisted linguistic states for some time. (b) The creation of linguistic states was the first and major test for democratic politics in our country. In 1947, the boundaries of several old states of India were changed in order to create new states and this was done to ensure that people who spoke the language lived in the same state.
(c) But the experience has shown that the formation of linguistic states has actually made the country more united. It has also made the administration easier.
