    Orient Blackswan Pvt. Ltd. Revisiting 1956 (Pb) by PAI

    While much has been written on Ambedkar’s views on caste and identity, Buddhism, and the lower-caste movements led by him, his views on the issue of states reorganisation have not attracted serious scholarship. This book addresses this lacuna by revisiting the mid-1950s when the first round of states reorganisation took place and the principles on which this was undertaken. Ambedkar feared that fostering cultural identities would result in separate nationalities. In 1956, when the States Reorganisation Commission submitted its report, he identified its flaws, and famously laid down his ‘One state, one language’ principle. Unfortunately, the speeches, tracts and articles that Ambedkar produced on these lines were soon forgotten. In contemporary India, as new states are being formed, Ambedkar’s works find renewed relevance. Revisiting 1956 presents these works by Ambedkar that reveal his remarkable and consistent vision on state formation that administrators can learn from today. In presenting his criteria for reorganisation of states—viability, size, economic feasibility, equality, federal balance, and the divisive issue of language—he has already addressed concerns that we now have today. This book will be invaluable for students and scholars of political science, demography, public administration and Indian history.
