💨 Abstract

Ambedkar, the architect of India's Constitution, advocated in his 1955 book "Thoughts on Linguistic States" for the division of large provinces like Bihar and Madhya Pradesh, considering them unmanageable. He believed in creating states on linguistic lines but cautioned against excessively large units. Ambedkar suggested dividing states for administrative efficiency and to prevent marginalization.
