Heya friend,
Here is your answer.
》》》》》》》》》》

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. 

In 1948, SK Dhar - a judge of the Allahabad High Court - was appointed by the government to head a commission that would divide the country into states on linguistic basis.

Hope it helps..!!
