Reconstruction of language-based states after India's independence

BY A STAFF REPORTER 

After independence, one of the major problems of India became the appointment of princely states| The idea of the formation of this language-based province was created in the minds of Indians from the time of British rule| Both the Congress and the British government were in favour of the formation of language-based provinces, considering it. But motilal nehru, the leader of the national congress, formed a commission in 1950, which was called the "nehru committee", | The National Congress moved a resolution in its Kolkata and Wardha sessions stating that the Countries of British Rights would be divided as language-based| During the British period, the states of Assam, Sikkim, Odisha, etc. were important based provinces| But the Telugu vasi people of Andhra Pradesh had been agitating for a long time for their separate state. But to find out how to form this linguistic state, a commission was formed in the assembly or meeting, which was called the "Dhar Commission" (1948) and was headed by S S Dhar. The commission talks about exploring various problems in the formation of linguistic states| But this Commission rejected the proposal to create a language-based state and was advised to divide in terms of geography, economic, administrative, etc| As a result of which he abandoned the proposal to form a language-based state| But during this time, one movement after another started in different parts of India, especially in the south| As a result, the process of forming this language-based state was revived. The Congress formed a committee this time under the pressure of heavy public anger| In 1948, the J.V.P. Committee consisting of Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, Pattvi Sitaramayya was formed| The committee's task was to look into the formation of a language-based state| The J.V.P. Committee Report was published on April 1, 1949| It said that "at this time it is not possible to form a state on the basis of language". In 1948, the language-based provinces commission's report stated that "until India becomes a nation, the narrow inclinations of language-based provinces should be suppressed", .On October 20, 1952, Telugu Vasi Gandhian leader Patti Sriramalu began a hunger strike demanding the creation of a separate Andhra Pradesh comprising 11 districts of Telugu Vashi Madras| But the fast did not upset Nehru| He died on December 15, 1952, while on hunger strike| In the wake of his death, riots broke out in The Telugu Vashi districts| This forced the Union Cabinet to form a separate state called Andhra Pradesh on December 18, 1952| Andhra Pradesh is the first state after India's independence| Thus Tamil Nadu is also formed as a state according to tamil language| After this incident, people of other languages also demanded a separate state based on language. In the north eastern part of India, Meghalaya was separated from Assam and formed as a separate state| The Union Territories of Manipur and Tripura were formed as states in 1972| These states are recognised as the 19th, 20th and 21st states of India| Sikkim was appointed as the 22nd state on February 20, 1987. Tamil Nadu Province and Mizoram were appointed as the 23rd and 24th states on May 30, 1987| Goa, the regional state of India, was appointed as the 25th state at this time.





Along with Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Andhra Pradesh, four new states Uttaranchal (now Uttarakhand), Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Telangana were recognised as the 26th, 27th, 28th and 29th states of the Indian state.

So finally we can say that the way this State Reorganisation Commission restructured the Indian states on the basis of language is indeed undeniable| The Government of India maintains its relations with every state and exerts its power in every state.
