Answer 1

The correct option is B To cater to the demand of the states to be organised based on the respective regional languages

India was a union of four classes of states when the constitution came into existence. But soon states to be organised based on the respective regional languages surfaced. To cater to this demand and examine the matter, Jawaharlal Nehru appointed the State Reorganisation Commission in 1953.
