Can you identify names of three States in 1947 that have been changed later?
Based on the provided context, the specific names of three States from 1947 that were changed later are not listed. The text mentions that the boundaries of several old States were changed in 1947 to create new States, and it specifically names Nagaland, Uttarakhand, and Jharkhand as examples of States that were created later on the basis of culture, ethnicity, or geography.
Explanation
The textbook context explains the process of state reorganization, noting that boundaries were changed in 1947 to create linguistic states and later to create states based on culture/ethnicity (like Nagaland, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand). However, it does not explicitly identify the names of the specific States as they existed in 1947 (e.g., Madras State, Bombay State) that were later renamed or reorganized. Thus, a student can only mention the states created later, as those are the only ones named in the text.
Solution Steps
Step 1: Analyze the text to find a list of States existing in 1947.
Step 2: Identify that the text mentions 'boundaries of several old States of India were changed' but does not name them.
Step 3: Identify that the text lists 'Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand' as States created later.
Step 4: Conclude that the specific names of 1947 States are absent, but the names of newer States created from such changes are available.
