INDIAN GOVERNANCE

As you all know, India was ruled by the Britishers for many years. It was very difficult to rebuild India after independence. Nevertheless, our constitution makers made this difficult task easier who gave such a constitution to the country that today India is no less than any developed nation. What do you think they would not have found difficulties in framing the constitution?

Off course must have come at all our constitution is so complex that you and I cannot understand it easily but I can help you to understand this in easy way.

Think, whenever there is one nation then why the government has two? Why union territory formed? Why there are different Governments in State and UT? 

 If such questions arise in your mind too then let's know the answers to these questions. 

 

 

After partition of India

India was divided into many parts after partition there were 552 Princely States. Hence, the reorganization of states started here .Demand for creating a state based on language was started so in 1953 'THE STATE REORGANIZATION COMMISSION' formed. They chose four factors to form states

·         Unity and Security of Country

·         Linguistic and Cultural similarities

·         Financial, Economic and Administrative logic

·         People Welfare

 

They united the country by creating 14 States and 6 UT in 1956, and now India has 28 States and 8 UT in 2020. Recently J&K and Ladakh got the status of UT in Oct 2019 and Daman&Diu and Dadar and Nagar Haveli have been merged and formed one UT.

 

 

Why UT?

Special status has been given to them by formed UT so that we can take special care of them. There are some reasons for forming the UT .

Why different Governments?

 

The Indian Government cannot handle the whole country at once so that’s why State government does its duty in States and Central Government in UTs.  By this Central Government making direct control on UTs for their Development and Welfare. The result of this is that some UTs have got state status like Tripura, Goa and Arunachal Pradesh and some got half state like Delhi, Puducherry and J&K.

 So you saw how our constitution makers made this constitution by thinking so far. Mainly UTs were formed for their own development. So that every area can be developed and it can also be fit to became a State as some UT did and formed two Governments so that the Government should not be under pressure to perform multiple priorities without a plan.
