Map 1947 India

Map 2006 India

  If we look at the political map of India when it began its journey as a democracy in 1947 and that of 2006 we are surprised by the extent of the changes.

(i) Many old states have vanished and many new states have emerged. Areas boundaries and names of the states have been changed.

(ii) In 1947 the boundaries of several old states of India were changed in order to create new states. This was done to ensure cultural unity and linguistic identity e.g. Tamil Nadu.

(iii) Some states were created to recognise differences based on culture ethnicity or geography. These states include Nagaland Uttarakhand and Jharkhand.
