Explanation:
India’s internal boundaries have changed over past seven decades—the biggest reorganization being in 1956, followed by nine changes in state borders.
Seventy-two years after India won Independence on 15 August 1947, the country’s internal boundaries continue to change, with the announcement of the creation of two new Union territories (UTs) by bifurcating the state of Jammu and Kashmir earlier this month.
While the latest move by the Union government to convert a state into two UTs is unprecedented and remains mired in controversy, India’s internal boundaries have undergone continuous evolution over the past seven decades, as the charts below show.
The biggest reorganization of India’s internal boundaries occurred in 1956 when an official States Reorganization Act was implemented.
But even after that, there were nine changes in state boundaries.
Apart from the loss of territory to Pakistan in 1947 (parts of Kashmir, though they continue to be claimed by India and are part of India’s map) and to China in 1963, India’s external boundaries has changed only three times—when Goa was subsumed into the Indian Union in 1961, Pondicherry in 1962 (officially) and Sikkim in 1975. While most regions in British India achieved independence on 15 August 1947, there were several regions that joined the Indian Union later. States, such as Kashmir, Hyderabad, Junagadh, Manipur and Tripura, became part of the Union in the period between 1947 and 1949, not always without controversy.
