Formation of States
How Were States To Be Formed: In 1920s, the Indian National congress -the main party of the freedom struggle- had promised that once the country won independence, each major linguistic group would have its own province.
India had been divided on the basis of religion : despite the wishes and efforts of Mahatma Gandhi, freedom had come not to one nation but to two . As result of the partition of India , more than a million people had been killed in the riots between Hindus and Muslims.
Both the Prime Minister Nehru and Deputy Prime Minister Vallabhbhai Patel were against the creation of linguistic states .
The first and last need of India at the present moment is that it should be made a nation every thing which helps the growth of nationalism has to go forward and everything which throws obstacles in its way has to be rejected we have applies this test to linguistic provinces.
The Congress leaders would now go back on their promise created great disappointment. The kannada speakers , Malayalam speakers , the Marathi speakers, had all looked forward to having their own states. The strongest all looked forward to having their own state. The strongest protest , however came from Telugu speaking districts of what was the Madras Presidency . when Nehru went to campaign there during the general elections of 1952he was met with black flags and slogans demanding " We want Andhra".
On 15 December 1952, fifty- eight days into his fast , Potti Sriramulu died. The protest were so widespread and intense that the central government was forced to give in to the demand. Thus, on 1october 1953, the new state of Andhra came into being , which subsequently became Andhra Pradesh.
After the creation of Andhra, other linguistic communities also demanded their own separate states.A states Reorganization Commission was set up, which submitted its report in 1956, recommending the redrawing of district and provincial boundaries to form compact provinces of Assamese, Bengali, Oriya, Tamil, Malayalam, Kannadaand Telgu speakers respectively. The large Hindi - speaking region of north India was also to be broken up into several states.In 1960, the bilingual state of Bombay was divided into separate states for Marathi and Gujarati speakers.
