Question

The members of Fazl Ali commission were ____________
(A) Fazl Ali
(B) H.N Kunzru
(C) K.M Panikkar
(D) All

Answer 1

Hint: The State Reorganization Commission (SRC) established by the Central Government of India on 22 December 1953 recommended the reorganization of the national borders. In 1955, after almost two years of study, the Commission proposed the reorganization of India's national borders into 14 states and 6 territories.

Complete step by step answer: The State Reorganization Commission consisted of Fazal Ali, K. M. Panikkar, and H. It is N. Kunzru. Any of its proposals have been adopted in the 1956 State Reorganization Act. The boundaries of these states, which were inherited from British India, were not ideal for easy administration. British India's internal provincial boundaries are the product of historical events as well as British political, military, and strategic planning. The Government decided that the reorganization of the national boundaries was necessary, but the basis for the reorganization had yet to be established.
One of the plans was to reorganize the state based on Indian languages. This will make administration simpler and help to replace caste and religious identities with less controversial linguistic identities. Earlier in 1920, members of the Indian National Congress agreed to the linguistic reorganization of the Indian states as one of the party's political objectives. The Provincial Committees of the Party have been formed on this basis since 1920. In 1927, Congress announced that it was committed to "the redistribution of provinces on a linguistic basis" and repeated its position several times, including in the 1945-46 election manifesto. However, soon after independence, the Congress-led Government became worried that states established solely on a linguistic basis might be unfit and might even pose a danger to national unity.

Thus, the answer is an option : D: All of this

Note: Dr. B. R. Ambedkar submitted a memorandum (dated 14 October 1948) to the Dar Commission in favor of the establishment of linguistic provinces, specifically the formation of the Maharashtra Marathi Majority State with Bombay as its capital. To resolve the question of national unity, he proposed that the official language of each province should be the same as the official language of the central government.
