1. In the initial years it was felt that linguistic states may foster seperatism and create pressures on newly founded nation, but India considered democracy and federalism by making a favor to linguistic states only. 

2. State Reorganization Commission was appointed in 1953 central Government to rearrange the boundaries of states. 

3. Its main recommendations were to organize states on language basis as well as the boundaries of states could reflect the linguistic aspects also. 

4. The State Reorganization Act was passed in 1956 which created 14 states and 6 union territories. 

5. Linguistic states enhanced democratic practices. 

6. Linguistic states reduced separatist attitude by accepting the regional and linguistic claims of all regions.
