\nThe mandate of the Dhar Commission (1948) was primarily to recommend whether the States can be re-organized on a linguistic basis.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe Linguistic Provinces Commission, headed by S.K. Dhar (hence known as the Dhar Commission), was appointed by the Constituent Assembly in June 1948. Its purpose was to examine the feasibility of reorganizing the states of India on linguistic lines. The Commission, however, recommended against linguistic reorganization and favoured reorganization on the basis of administrative convenience.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe recommendations of the Dhar Commission led to popular discontent, particularly in South India. This prompted the Congress to appoint another committee, the JVP Committee (Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Pattabhi Sitaramayya), which also opposed linguistic reorganization initially but later accepted it after the fast unto death by Potti Sriramulu for a separate Andhra state. This ultimately led to the formation of Andhra state in 1953 and the States Reorganisation Act of 1956.
