Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
After independence, many states were established based on languages so that people speaking the same language lived in the same state. One can see that people speaking Tamil have a separate state of Tamil Nadu, and people speaking Gujarati have a different state of Gujarat. But, States like Nagaland, Uttarakhand, and Jharkhand were created not based on language but to recognise cultural differences, ethnicity, and geographical differences. The division of the state based on language was feared by the leaders at that time. They thought it could lead to disintegration, but the formation of states based on language made the country more united and eased the administration.
The correct statement would be states like Nagaland, Uttarakhand, and Jharkhand were created based on cultural and geographical differences.
