π POLITICAL & ADMINISTRATIVE REORGANISATION OF STATES β QUICK REVISION
π Introduction
π’ Reorganisation of Indiaβs states and territories has been a continuous process since the mid-19th century, driven by political, administrative, linguistic, ethnic and developmental considerations.
π PHASES OF REORGANISATION
π 1857β1935
π’ India divided into British provinces + princely states.
π’ British largely followed a policy of non-interference in territorial expansion.
π’ Bengal partition and shifting of capital from Calcutta to Delhi were major changes.
π 1935β1947
π’ Government of India Act, 1935 proposed an Indian federation involving provinces and princely states.
π’ Cabinet Mission grouped territories into A, B and C categories for administrative purposes.
π 1947β1956
π’ Post-Independence integration and reorganisation began.
π’ States Reorganisation Commission (Fazal Ali Commission) β basis for the States Reorganisation Act, 1956.
π 1960β2000
π’ Maharashtra & Gujarat β linguistic considerations.
π’ Punjab, Haryana & Himachal Pradesh β linguistic/developmental considerations.
π’ Sikkim & Goa β integration and subsequent statehood.
π’ Northeast β new states created to accommodate ethnic diversity.
π 2000 onwards
π’ Uttarakhand, Jharkhand & Chhattisgarh (2000) β administrative + developmental concerns.
π’ Jammu & Kashmir reorganised into UT of Jammu & Kashmir + UT of Ladakh.
π’ Continuing demands include Bodoland, Harit Pradesh, Purvanchal, Saurashtra, etc.
π CORE IDEA
Reorganisation has evolved from β colonial administrative control β national integration β linguistic identity β ethnic aspirations β administrative & developmental needs.
π UPSC Mains Line:
Thus, state reorganisation in India is not a one-time event but an evolving process reflecting the changing political, social, cultural and developmental aspirations of its people.
