खालीलपैकी कोणते विधान अयोग्य आहे ?

The correct answer is Option B (Maharashtra state became first state created on the language principle.).

Key Points:
• Linguistic Reorganisation of Indian States:
• Dhar Commission (1948): The Constituent Assembly appointed the Linguistic Provinces Commission headed by Justice S. K. Dhar in June 1948 to examine the feasibility of linguistic provinces.
• First Linguistic State: Andhra State was the first state created on linguistic lines on October 1, 1953, following the 56-day hunger strike and martyrdom of Potti Sreeramulu.
• States Reorganisation Act, 1956: Enacted by Parliament in November 1956 based on the Fazal Ali Commission recommendations, creating 14 states and 6 union territories.
• Maharashtra Formation: Maharashtra was carved out on linguistic lines on May 1, 1960 (after the Samyukta Maharashtra Movement), NOT as the first linguistic state.
• Hence, statement (2) is incorrect.
• Key Takeaway: Andhra State (1953) was the first linguistic state in India; Maharashtra was formed later on May 1, 1960.
