The volume analyses the complex historical and political context
for the processes of state formation in independent India. It
provides both a conceptual and empirical framework for an
understanding of Indian democracy through the perspective of
reorganisation of states. Following the recommendations of the
States Reorganisation Commission (SRC) in 1956, the territorial
boundaries of the states were redrawn. However, within a decade,
the geo-linguistic and cultural-ideological criteria could not be
considered satisfactory for the future division of states. With the
formation of three new states (Chhattisgarh, Uttarakhand and
Jharkhand) and the demand for Telangana statehood not accepted as
yet, new dimensions and perspectives about state formation as a
critical political practice have surfaced yet again in contemporary
India. The book addresses a number of significant themes related to
states reorganisation and its effects - questions of
underdevelopment, size, political participation, governance,
cultural identities - and also analyses the demand for smaller
states. It focuses on different states, their historical and
contemporary trajectory leading to the demand for territorial
remapping and thus recognising specific political and cultural
resources, and identities in the regions and sub-regions of states
in India. The book will be useful for those studying politics,
history, sociology, comparative politics and South Asian Studies.
