The correct answer is Option 4 - None of the above

Option 2- Tamil Nadu protested against the imposition of Hindi as the official national language.
Option 3- Punjab and Haryana were established as distinct States in response to the demand of Punjabi speakers.
Option 4- None of the above

In the 1950s, there were mass agitations in many parts of the country for the formation of linguistic States. Today’s Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Gujarat were among the regions affected by these agitations. In some parts of southern India, particularly Tamil Nadu, there were protests against making Hindi the official national language of the country. In the north, there were strong pro-Hindi agitations demanding that Hindi be made the official language immediately. From the late 1950s, people speaking the Punjabi language started agitating for a separate State for themselves. This demand was finally accepted and the States of Punjab and Haryana were created in 1966. Later, the States of Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand were created. Thus the challenge of diversity was met by redrawing the internal boundaries of the country.
