Post Independent Re-Organisation

The British and the East India Company decided to leave India in 1946. India was declared as an independent nation in 1947, 15th august. A great controversy appeared when the independence decision was announced. The conflict arose between two major parties, INC and the Indian Muslim League. The political diplomacy of the British East India Company buried the seed of animosity for caste in India. In that situation, there was an instability in politics regarding caste differentiation and potency of state division. The political leaders of the two committees were not able to settle the situation to reorganize Indian democracy. 

Post-Independent Reorganization

After 200 years of subdomain by the British Government, there was another unstable and violent chapter in Indian history. The “East India company” buried the seed to indifferent attitude between Hindu and Muslim communities and this led to a major division in the state of Bengal in 1905 by then Governor-General Lord Curzon. However, the rule was diminished by revolutionary movements by Indian freedom fighters. But the fire, which was imbricated, came out during the independence. 

The Britishers sent a Cabinet in 1946 post-independence to stabilize the fire which was inside the freedom fighters. But the proposition of the British Cabinet Mission was not satisfactory for Muslim League, and they declined the “Direct Action Day” the same year. The proposal of the Cabinet mission raised the fire of violence on both sides. The India National Congress had accepted the partition plan to devise India to stop the start of the “Civil war”. After so many days and struggle, India gained its freedom on 1947 August 15, but at the expense of partition and this formed a new country called Pakistan. Bangladesh was still conjugated with Pakistan, but later in 1974, Bangladesh was divided from Pakistan. The Pakistan Government had declared the nation as an Islamic country and in India, the democracy was stated as a secular country. 

Definition of Reorganisation

After Independence, there was chaos in different castes for their demand. But the Post Independent political scenario was not stable. The political movement at that time saw that there was a controversy to develop new states. The different languages and different caste people demanded different states. From 1950 to 1956, the states of India were reorganized and refounded to separate according to language. 

States of Reorganisation

The major reformation of the state boundaries and territories with linguistic lines of India was organized by the “States Reorganisation Act”, in 1956 to organize the states. Although the changes in the boundaries of states have been continuing after Independence, the reorganization in 1956 by the act was the most effective movement of the division of states. The British East India Company has disowned the treaty in princely states, to encourage diplomacy. By history, it can be said that the act was used to satiate the dirty relationship. 

State-classification

The New Constitution of India came into force, which made India a Sovereign democratic country. “Union Of States” was declared by the new Republic Act of India in the year of 1952. The constitution in 1950 has distinguished the types of divided states to establish a unity in nationality. The division of states was done by the division of class territory. The main types of states have been discussed below

States division

These states were formerly known as governor’s provinces of British India, which were ruled by the president and an elected state legislature. In the first part, there were 9 states which were mainly situated in the middle part of India. These states were formerly princely states which were governed by officials called Rajpramukh, who were generally the rulers of the states. In the second part, there were 11 states, which were situated on the northwest side of India. The states under the third part were both regulated by the Chief commissioner’s province and several princely states. The President of India appointed the chief commissioner of the states. The included states in the third part were situated in the middle, west, and northeast part of India. In this part of the State, there were 11 states regulated by the president. 

Conclusion 

The Post Independent political scenario was a consequence of state division. There was a violent moment between people from different castes and languages. In that situation, there was a controversy in politics. History says that there was a continuous period of reorganization and reconstruction of states and territory. In 1965, the act of “states Reorganization act” was implemented by the government of India to divide the states with linguistic lines to style the legislation of states.
