Identify any three States which have been carved out of bigger States.
Correct Answer
The three States which have been carved out of bigger States are Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand.
These States were created not on the basis of language but to recognise differences based on culture, ethnicity or geography. They were formed to address the unique social and historical circumstances of these regions.

For More Understanding
Explanation
The textbook explicitly mentions Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand as examples of States that were created to recognise differences based on culture, ethnicity or geography, rather than on linguistic basis. These States were carved out of larger existing States to accommodate regional aspirations and identity.
