Explain how the federal experiment has been formation successful in the matter of formation of states in India.

The success of federalism in India can be attributed to the nature of democratic politics in the country. This has ensured that the spirit of federalism, respect for diversity and desire for living together became a shared ideal for alt” This has happened in various ways such as creation of linguistic states as mentioned below:
(i) Position at the time of independence: At the time of independence in 1947, there were different states having more than one language culture.
(ii) State Reorganisation Commission (1956) : Under State Reorganisation commission in 1956, the states were created on the basis of language. Many states vanished and new States came into existence.
(iii) Creation of Haryana and other states: Even after the state Reorganisation commission, the demand for creation of new states continued. In 1966, Haryana was created out of the State of Punjab. Some States like Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand were created to recognise the cultural and ethnic differences. Although there have been some opposition to the creation of states on the basis of language but experience has poved that the country has become more united’ It has also made administration easier. Our federation is an example of ‘holding together’ federation. Under this the spirit of federalism, respect for diversity and desire for living together has become a shared ideal. The creation of states on the basis of language is a proof of this and it has strengthened the spirit of federalism in India.
