Que . 4 c Fazl Ali Commission Chairman : Fazl Ali Members: Hridaynath Kunzru and K.M.Panikkar After the formation of Andhra Pradesh on the basis of linguistic factor, all hell breaks loose. The other regions also started demanding for creation of separate states on the basis of linguistic factor.

It led to the formation of Fazl Ali Commission in December 1953. The commission submitted its report on September 1955 and acknowledged 4 major factors to be taken into account in any scheme of reorganization of states: 1. Linguistic and Cultural homogeneity. 2. Preservation and strengthening of the unity and security of the nation. 3. Financial, Economic and Administrative considerations. 4. Planning and promotion of the welfare of the people in each state as well as of the Nation as a whole.

The Lucknow session of Indian National Congress, presided over by a Moderate, Ambika Charan Mujumdar finally readmitted the extremists led by Tilak to the congress fold. Another significant development to take place at Lucknow was the coming together of the Muslim League and the Congress and the presentation of common demands by them to the govt. this happened at a time when the Muslim League now dominated by the younger militant nationalist, was coming closer to the Congress objectives and turning increasingly anti-imperialist. Que. 7 d Rowlatt Act was based on the recommendations made to the Imperial Legislative Council by the Rowlatt Commission, headed by the British Judge, Sir Sidney Rowlatt, to investigate the ‘seditious conspiracy’ of the Indian people.
