States formation in India:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The States Reorganization Act, formed in 1956 was a prime force in reorganizing the margins of Indian states along semantic lines. Later, as per a reformation in the Indian Constitution, three types of states, known as Part A states, Part B states, and Part C states, were changed to form a single type of state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Part A: <\/strong>States belong to former governors\u2019 regions of British India.<\/li>
  • Part B:<\/strong> States belong to former royal states<\/li>
  • Part C:<\/strong> States involved both the former chief commissioner\u2019s provinces and some princely states.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Although new changes have been introduced in the state boundaries since 1947, the Act is still regarded as an authoritative player in implementing the present shape and forms to the Indian states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
