Summary: The Origin Story of India's States is a fascinating and illuminative account of the genesis of India's states. It presents the incredible origin stories of each of India's twenty-eight states and eight union territories, spanning from Independence until today. The state that wasn't even a part of India until 1975; the union territory that had a prime minister for a single day; the state that has not one or two but three capitals; and the union territory that has beaches on both coasts-this book looks into such unique aspects of Indian history and adds to our understanding of how our nation has been built.
