This post contains a free Question Bank on Reshaping India's Political Map for CBSE Class 8 Social Science (History). This question bank covers all important topics from the chapter and includes a wide variety of question types — exactly as they appear in CBSE unit tests, half-yearly, and annual examinations. It is prepared by an experienced classroom teacher to ensure full syllabus coverage and exam relevance.
Why Practise Questions From This Chapter?
Reshaping India's Political Map is a chapter that students often find difficult because it involves a large number of facts — names of states, dates, personalities, commissions, and acts. Simply reading the chapter is not enough. Regularly practising questions from this chapter helps students organise their knowledge, remember important dates and names, and write structured, point-based answers that score well in examinations.
Types of Questions Included
This question bank is structured to match the CBSE examination pattern for Class 8. It includes one-mark questions such as fill in the blanks, true or false, and name the following — which test factual recall of key terms, dates, and personalities. Three-mark short answer questions require students to explain concepts such as the role of Sardar Patel in integrating princely states, the significance of the States Reorganisation Act, and the reason for the creation of linguistic states.
Five-mark long answer questions test deeper understanding of topics such as the challenges India faced in integrating over 560 princely states after independence, the circumstances leading to the creation of Andhra Pradesh as a separate state, and the impact of the States Reorganisation Act of 1956 on India's political map.
Key Topics Covered in This Question Bank
All major topics from the chapter are covered including the integration of princely states under Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the accession of Hyderabad and Junagadh, the demand for linguistic states, the States Reorganisation Commission, the creation of Andhra Pradesh in 1953, and the States Reorganisation Act of 1956. Map-based questions on India's political reorganisation are also included.
How to Use This Resource
Attempt all questions independently first, then check your answers. Pay special attention to questions you get wrong — those are the areas that need more revision. Combine this question bank with the EDU BYTEZ PPT and Mind Map on the same chapter for the most effective preparation.
