Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The movement for a separate Chhattisgarh state was based on all of the above.
- Linguistic and cultural distinctiveness: The people of Chhattisgarh speak a distinct dialect of Hindi and have a unique culture. They felt that they were not being represented adequately by the government of Madhya Pradesh, which was dominated by the Hindi-speaking people of the northern part of the state.
- Economic disparities: Chhattisgarh is a relatively poor state, with a high rate of poverty and unemployment. The people of Chhattisgarh felt that they were not getting their fair share of the state’s resources and that the government of Madhya Pradesh was not doing enough to address their economic problems.
- A desire for greater political autonomy: The people of Chhattisgarh felt that they had been neglected by the government of Madhya Pradesh and that they did not have a say in how their state was being run. They wanted to have their own state government so that they could have more control over their own affairs.
The movement for a separate Chhattisgarh state was successful, and the state was created in 2000. The creation of Chhattisgarh has led to a number of positive changes for the people of the state, including improved economic development, better representation in government, and a greater sense of cultural identity.
