How did the status of Himachal Pradesh change after the states were reorganised in 1956?

It became full-fledge state
It became a Union Territory
It became only part of Punjab
It became the part of Jammu and Kashmir

The correct answer is: A. It became full-fledge state.

Himachal Pradesh was a part of Punjab before 1956. In 1956, the States Reorganisation Act was passed, which reorganized the states of India on linguistic lines. As a result of this act, Himachal Pradesh became a full-fledged state.

Option B is incorrect because Himachal Pradesh did not become a Union Territory after the States Reorganisation Act was passed.

Option C is incorrect because Himachal Pradesh did not become only part of Punjab after the States Reorganisation Act was passed.

Option D is incorrect because Himachal Pradesh did not become the part of Jammu and Kashmir after the States Reorganisation Act was passed.
