This article is dependent on the fact that following independence, the first demand for the establishment of a state based on linguistic basis originated from the formerly occupied presidency of Madras, where the people who spoke Telugu initiated a movement for the establishment of a separate state. On December 15, 1952, potti Sreeramlu passed away following a fast-unto-death that lasted for fifty-two days in order to demonstrate his support for this cause. This resulted in widespread demonstrations, which ultimately led to the government giving in to the demand. In the future, a state reconstruction panel was established, and based on the suggestions of that commission, fourteen states and three union territories were established, mostly due to linguistic reasons. In the years that have passed since then, several other states have been established in Indian history for a variety of reasons, including linguistic or socio-economic considerations. The southern states, headed by Tamil Nadu, have begun a campaign to oppose the mandatory teaching of Hindi in these states. As a result, anti-Hindi demonstrations took place in these regions. In 1937, demonstrations were initiated over the Congress government’s decision to mandate the teaching of Hindi in schools in Madras. These protests were directed against the mandatory teaching of Hindi. Eventually, in February of 1940, after the departure of the Congress administration in 1939, the British governor of Madras decided to remove the requirement that students get a compulsory education in Hindi. Hindi was chosen to be the official language of India at the time that the constitution was being drafted. English was allowed to continue to serve as an associate official language for a period of fifteen years, after which Hindi was to become the only official language. With that being said, the decision to make Hindi the national language after 1965 was not acceptable to states that did not speak Hindi. The government was prompted to create the Harappan Civilizations Official Languages Legislation in 1963 as a result of the agitations that occurred in these states, notably in Tamil Nadu. This act was then revised in 1967 to permit the continuation of the “virtual indefinite policy of bilingualism.” Since the 1960s, there have been ongoing campaigns for the construction of a distinct Telengana state that would consist of territories where Telugu is spoken. The strength of these movements has fluctuated over time. The demand is being met with opposition in Rayalseema and coastal Andhra, which is due to the fact that the state is going to be split out of the state of Andhra Pradesh. Under the auspices of the Terengganu Rashtra Samiti (TRS), the movement is now being directed by K. Chandrasekhar Rao, who is serving as the head of the organization. An additional manifestation of regionalism may be seen in the state of Maharashtra, where the people of the north Indian subcontinent are held responsible for almost every issue and are subjected to violence on occasion.
