Explanation

The chronological order of the creation of these states is as follows: Andhra Pradesh was the first linguistic state, created in 1953 (as Andhra State) and expanded in 1956 [c1][t3][t7]. Maharashtra was formed on May 1, 1960, following the Bombay Reorganisation Act, which split the Bombay State into Maharashtra and Gujarat [c1][c3][t5]. Nagaland was granted full statehood on December 1, 1963, after being carved out of the Naga Hills-Tuensang area of Assam [c1][c3][t5]. Finally, Haryana was created on November 1, 1966, through the Punjab Reorganisation Act, which separated the Hindi-speaking regions from Punjab [c1][c2][t5]. Therefore, the correct sequence is Andhra Pradesh (1953/56), Maharashtra (1960), Nagaland (1963), and Haryana (1966), corresponding to the order 1-3-2-4.
