It was a significant development in Indian history as it led to the reorganization of states based on languages spoken by the people. Prior to this, states were primarily organized based on political and administrative considerations. The linguistic reorganization of states aimed to establish linguistic harmony and give prominence to regional languages and cultures. This recognition led to the formation of several new states in India based on linguistic identities, such as Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and others.
