\nThe States Reorganization Commission (SRC) was appointed by the Indian government in December 1953 to examine the question of reorganizing the states of India on linguistic lines. The Commission consisted of three members: Justice Fazal Ali as the Chairman, and Sardar K. M. Panikkar and Pandit Hridaynath Kunzru as members. The commission submitted its report in 1955, leading to the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, which reorganized states and union territories.
\n<\/section>\n
\n– The SRC was established in 1953.
\n– Its main task was to recommend state reorganization based on linguistic principles.
\n– The three members were Justice Fazal Ali (Chairman), K. M. Panikkar, and Hridaynath Kunzru.
\n<\/section>\n
\nPrior to the SRC, the Dhar Commission (1948) and the JVP Committee (Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, and Pattabhi Sitaramayya – 1948) had also examined the linguistic basis for state reorganization but were hesitant to fully endorse it initially. The SRC report provided a detailed framework that largely shaped the political map of modern India. S. K. Dar was the head of the 1948 Linguistic Provinces Commission (Dhar Commission), not the 1953 SRC. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel was instrumental in integrating the princely states but was not a member of the 1953 SRC.
