At the time of Independence and during the framing of the Constitution, India consisted of three types of states.
Part A states, which were the former governors’ provinces of British India, were ruled by a governor and a council of ministers answerable to the state legislature. The nine Part A states were Assam, Bihar, Bombay, Madhya Pradesh (formerly Central Provinces and Berar), Madras, Orissa, Punjab, United Provinces and West Bengal (after Bengal).
The Part B states were former princely states or groups of princely states. The Part B states were Hyderabd, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Bharat, Mysore, Patiala, East Punjab States Union (Pepsu), Rajasthan, Saurashtra and Travancore-Cochin.
Part C states included both the former chief commissioners’ provinces and some princely states, and each was governed by a chief commissioner appointed by the President of India.
The only practical difference between Part A & B states was that while Part A states had Governers, Part B states had a Rajpramukh.
Later, in 1956, when all the states were reorganised on lingustic basis through the States Reorganisation Act, 1956, Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act was also passed.
This was done primarily because after that, many princely states were altered on the basis of the language.
This completely led to a permanemt alteration of the Indian Map and very much near to the present one. Hence Part B states were completely removed,
So the scheme of states was permanently altered. The scheme of Part A, B and C states was completely done away with and the only classification that now remains is States and the Union Territories. Hence the Seventh Amendment deleted Part VII which dealt with Part B states now stands omitted.
Part VIII of Constitution deals with?
Union Territories administration, High Court for them, etc.
