The creation of linguistic states was the first and greatest test for democratic politics in India because it allowed people who spoke the same ideology or dialect to be grouped in the same region and thus could develop a strong sense of identity and regionalism that stimulated creation political parties seeking to serve the political, social and economic interests of their region.
As the states had different languages and in the face of a variety of political concerns, democracy proved necessary, to bring together all the inhabitants in the face of a political administration that could represent all of them equally, without favoritism by regions or languages.
