Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated June 15,1954: Linguistic States

Mr. S.K. Patil, President of the Bombay Pradesh Congress Committee, announced in Bombay that the BPCC's memorandum to the States' Reorganisation Commission was forwarded to the Commission's office in Delhi on June 14 and also to the members of the Commission individually. Explaining the BPCC's case, he said: "We are opposed to any linguistic division. In our opinion, redistribution on a linguistic basis is fraught with the greatest danger. It would create new problems of linguistic minorities which did not exist in the past. It would take half a century for adjusting these new minorities' problems. Therefore, the status quo should be maintained."
