Detailed Solution

Indian states were reorganised in 1956 on the basis of language. The national movement established specific unity around a shared language, locale, and culture in addition to creating a pan-Indian national unity. As a result, it was resolved during the national movement that States would be founded on a shared cultural and linguistic identity to the greatest extent possible.

The reorganisation of several states happened in 1956.
