The demand for reorganization of the states on the basis of language was an outcome of linguistic pluralism in India.

Important PointsStatement (A): The Linguistic Provinces Commission of 1948 was headed by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.

  • Due to the continuous demands of linguistic provinces, the Constituent Assembly, ​in June 1948, appointed the Linguistic Provinces Commission, headed by Justice S.K. Dhar, to enquire into the need of linguistic provinces.

Thus, the statement (A) is not correct.

  • The first demand for a linguistic province was seen in the Telugu-speaking region of Andhra.

Hence, the statement (B) is correct.

Statement (C): The States Reorganization Act was passed by the Parliament as late as 1968

  • In November 1956, the States Reorganization Act was passed by the Parliament which provided for 14 states and 6 centrally administered territories.

Hence, the statement (C) is not correct.

Statement (D): In the case of Punjab, the Akali Dal and the Hindu right wing supported each other.

  • In the case of Punjab, the Akali Dal and the Hindu right wing were against each other.

Thus, the statement (D) is not correct.

  • The Article 347 of the constitution has special provision relating to language spoken by a section of the population of a State. It protects the rights of lingusitic minorities.
