Who wanted to create a Punjabi Suba (Punjabi Province)?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

In the 1950s, the linguistic groups across India wanted statehood, which led to the establishment of the States Reorganisation Commission in 1955. The Akali Dal, a Sikh dominated political party in Punjab, wanted to create a Punjabi Suba (Punjabi Province). The States Reorganisation Commission while recommending reorganisation of states for the rest of India on the basis of linguistic homogenity rejected the demand for the formation of a separate Punjabi speaking state.
