Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Post-independence, states were reorganized largely on linguistic lines (1956), e.g., Andhra Pradesh for Telugu speakers. While promoting administrative convenience and cultural identity, it ignited further demands (Gujarat, Maharashtra, etc.). The Constitution accommodates official language provisions but also fosters unity. Excessive linguistic chauvinism leads to controversies like demands for separate states or disputes over official language usage (e.g., Kannada vs. Marathi border issues). Over time, reorganization commissions balanced language with economic viability. Constitutional unity ensures no language is forced nationwide, reflecting India’s multilingual ethos. This approach aims at “unity in diversity,” though friction remains in border or policy contexts.
