Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. Potti SriramuluA. पोट्टि श्रीरामुलु
Explanationव्याख्या
According to the source, Potti Sriramulu died after undertaking a fast unto death in support of the demand for a separate state for Telugu-speaking people.
His agitation is closely connected in the source with the formation of Andhra Pradesh as the first state formed on a linguistic basis in 1953.
The source states that Potti Sriramulu remained on hunger strike for 56 days.
It also states that Andhra Pradesh was created by separating the relevant territory from Madras.
These facts form an important sequence in the history of linguistic reorganisation of states.
For examination purposes, remember Potti Sriramulu—Telugu-speaking state demand—56-day fast—Andhra Pradesh.
स्रोत के अनुसार तेलुगु भाषी लोगों के लिए अलग राज्य की मांग करते हुए आमरण अनशन के कारण पोट्टि श्रीरामुलु की मृत्यु हुई थी। स्रोत उनके आंदोलन को 1953 में भाषाई आधार पर गठित प्रथम राज्य आंध्र प्रदेश से जोड़ता है। स्रोत यह भी बताता है कि पोट्टि श्रीरामुलु ने 56 दिनों तक भूख हड़ताल की थी। आंध्र प्रदेश का गठन मद्रास से अलग करके किया गया। राज्यों के भाषाई पुनर्गठन के इतिहास में ये तथ्य महत्वपूर्ण हैं। परीक्षा के लिए संबंध याद रखें—पोट्टि श्रीरामुलु, तेलुगु भाषी राज्य की मांग, 56 दिन का अनशन और आंध्र प्रदेश।
