Additional Information:
Some states, like Goa, were formed from former Union Territories or territories with special circumstances (like Sikkim, which was a kingdom before becoming a state).
Many of these states were created during the reorganization of Indian states, which occurred mainly in 1956 (based on linguistic lines).
