Read the passage and answer the question:

The task of nation-building extended beyond the Partition and integration of Princely States, as the challenge now shifted to delineating internal boundaries within India. It was crucial to draw these boundaries in a manner that acknowledged the linguistic and cultural diversity of the country without compromising its unity. The national movement had firmly rejected such divisions as artificial and had instead pledged to adopt the linguistic principle as the foundation for state formation. This principle gained recognition as the basis for reorganizing not only the Indian National Congress party but also the broader movement for independence, following the Nagpur session in 1920. However, this decision made by the national leadership faced opposition from local leaders and the people. Protests erupted in the Telugu-speaking regions of the former Madras province, encompassing present-day Tamil Nadu, parts of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Karnataka.

Which commission was established in 1953 for redrawing the boundaries of the state in India?

States Reorganisation Commission

The correct answer is Option 3 - States Reorganisation Commission

The Central Government appointed a States Reorganisation Commission in 1953 to look into the question of redrawing of the boundaries of states.

The States Reorganization Commission was established in 1953 to study linguistic and cultural divisions and recommend state boundary changes. The Commission concluded that state boundaries should align with linguistic boundaries, acknowledging India's linguistic diversity and respecting regional identities. Based on the Commission's recommendations, the States Reorganization Act was passed in 1956, providing a constitutional basis for the creation of linguistic states. The implementation of the act led to the formation of 14 new states and 6 union territories, promoting better governance, administration, and representation of diverse linguistic and cultural groups.
