The States Of India and their Capitals and Languages

Introduction: The States Of India And Their Capitals And Languages

Humanity and language both have their origins in India. India is the original ancestor, the grandmother of myths and legends, and the great-grandmother of customs.

India achieved the status of democratic republic status on 26 January 1950. After becoming completely free from the British administration, the resident nationals in India had the ultimate power in their hands. As per the constitution, people elect their representatives to make decisions. India is a nation of diverse cultures. The states of India and their capitals and language are unique and exciting to learn about the country. Read on to know more. 

History of categorisation of Indian states:

In 1956, India formed the States Reorganisation Act, which restricts the Indian states’ borders along semantic lines. This Act in the Indian Constitution dismissed the Part A, B and C status of the Indian states to form just a single type of state. The former governor’s region of British India constituted Part A states. Those belonging to royal states came under Part B. Part C includes the princely states and provinces of former chief commissioners. 

The Republic of India occupies the seventh spot in terms of total land area and ranks second in terms of population.

Since 1947, though state boundaries have changed, the Act still plays a significant role in defining the current Indian states’ forms and shapes.

In 2000, 3 new states were formed, namely Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Uttaranchal from Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh. Similarly, Telangana from Andhra Pradesh in 2014.

Previously, India was composed of 29 states. However, in 2019, Jammu and Kashmir was reorganized into a Union Territory, reducing the number of Indian states to 28.
