Consider the following statements:
1. Nagaland was granted statehood.
2. The Congress party split and Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) was formed.
3. Manipur and Tripura were given the right to elect their own legislative assemblies.
How many of the above statements are correct with reference to the impact of the Indo-China War in 1962?
(a) Only one
(b) Only two
(c) All three
(d) None
Explanation Statement 1 is correct: The war with China alerted the Indian leadership to the volatile situation in the Northeast region. Apart from being isolated and extremely underdeveloped, this region also presented India with the challenge of national integration and political unity. The process of its reorganisation began soon after the China war. Nagaland was granted statehood.
Statement 2 is correct: The Sino-Indian conflict affected the opposition as well. This and the growing rift between China and the Soviet Union created irreconcilable differences within the Communist Party of India (CPI). The pro-USSR faction remained within the CPI and moved towards closer ties with the Congress. The other faction was for some time closer to China and was against any ties with the Congress. The party split in 1964 and the leaders of the latter faction formed the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M).
Statement 3 is correct: Manipur and Tripura, though Union Territories, were given the right to elect their own legislative assemblies.
