Explanation

The Fazal Ali Commission, officially known as the States Reorganisation Commission (SRC), was appointed by the Government of India in December 1953. Its primary mandate was to recommend the reorganization of state boundaries on a linguistic basis. The commission comprised three members: Fazal Ali (Chairman), K. M. Panikkar, and H. N. Kunzru (Hriday Nath Kunzru).

  • K. M. Panikkar and H. N. Kunzru (mentioned as Kunjaru in the question) were the two members alongside the Chairman.
  • P. Sitaramaiah (Pattabhi Sitaramayya) was a member of the JVP Committee (1948), not the Fazal Ali Commission.
  • K. T. Shah was a prominent member of the Constituent Assembly but was not part of this commission.

The commission's recommendations led to the States Reorganisation Act of 1956, which created 14 states and 6 union territories.
