1 November is of great importance in the history of India. This is the date on which it was decided to reorganize the various states of the country on the basis of language years ago. The day of November 1 plays an important role in the history of the six states of India. From 1956 to 2000, six different states of India were born on this day.
Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Haryana, Karnataka and Kerala are the six states that celebrate their foundation day on a single day.
Madhya Pradesh located in the middle of the country is also called the heart of India. This state was also established on 1 November 1956. But the establishment of Madhya Pradesh was most challenging for the Indian government.
Actually, the four provinces - Central Province, Old Madhya Pradesh, Vindhya Pradesh and Bhopal - were to be formed into one state, but in reality the people living in these big provinces had different ideas, lifestyle, food, lifestyle, folk. Culture and ethics.
Later, in the year 2000, on the same day of November 1, Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh and formed as a new state.
Till independence, Chhattisgarh was known as Dakshin Kaushal Province. However, in the year 1956, this province was merged with the present Madhya Pradesh. But, like the rest of the states, Madhya Pradesh was not formed on the basis of language.
The demand to make Chhattisgarh a separate state was already coming up before independence. Because everyone here spoke Chhattisgarhi and Gond languages. Apart from this, it was also called Chhattisgarh because it contained 36 strongholds. But at that time the government, ignoring these demands, merged it with Madhya Pradesh.
After independence, when the reorganization of states was being decided, some parts of Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh (presently) and Union Territory of Chandigarh were all part of the same major state of Punjab province.
However, the Sikhs under the leadership of Shiromani Akali Dal demanded a separate Sikh state.
After independence, on 1 July 1949, the original states of Travancore and Cochin were merged together by the Government of India under the supervision of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. This was perhaps the first step towards the formation of a united Kerala. And then the kings of these different provinces had agreed to abandon their personal identity and merge for the happiness of their people.
