Detailed Solution

The State Reorganisation Commission used language as the basis for creation of new states.
In 1947, many state borders were changed to allow room for the formation of new states. The State Reorganisation Commission in 1956 used language as the basis for the foundation of the States. As many old States vanished, new States emerged. Several states were created to recognise variations based on culture, race, or region. Language became the main basis for reorganisation of states as it was the popular demand of the people of the country and people who shared a common language also shared similar traditions and cultures. Moreover, reorganisation of states based language made administration easier.
