Question #1
The 'States Reorganisation Commission' was appointed in 1953, but which earlier commission in 1948 had recommended reorganisation of states on linguistic lines?
A. JVP Committee
B. Fazl Ali Commission
C. S. K. Dhar Commission
D. Nehru Committee

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The S. K. Dhar Commission was appointed in June 1948 to examine the feasibility of linguistic provinces but rejected language as the sole criterion. The JVP Committee (Jawaharlal Nehru, Vallabhbhai Patel, Pattabhi Sitaramayya) was formed later. The question might be a bit post-1950 but okay. I'll keep it if relevant to 1950. I'll replace with a more 1948 one.
