Note

the state of the Indian Union

Mysore State, colloquially Old Mysore, was a political territory within the Dominion of India and the subsequent Republic of India from 1947 until 1956. The state was formed by renaming the Kingdom of Mysore, and Bangalore replaced Mysore as the state's capital when Parliament passed the States Reorganisation Act in 1956. Mysore State was considerably enlarged when it became a linguistically homogeneous Kannada-speaking state within the Republic of India by incorporating territories from Andhra, Bombay, Coorg, Hyderabad, and Madras States, as well as other petty fiefdoms. It was subsequently renamed Karnataka in 1973.

History

The Kingdom of Mysore was one of the three largest princely states in British India. Upon India's independence from Britain in 1947, Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar signed the instrument of accession, incorporating his realm with the Union of India, on 15 August 1947. The territories of the erstwhile princely state of Mysore were then reconstituted into a state within the Union.

In 1953 during the formation of Andhra, the Bellary district was transferred from Madras to Mysore.

Reorganisation

In 1956, the Government of India effected a comprehensive re-organisation of provincial boundaries, based upon the principle of shared language. As a result of the States Reorganisation Act on 1 November 1956, the Kannada-speaking districts of Belgaum (exclusing Chandgad), Bijapur, Dharwad, and North Canara were transferred from Bombay to Mysore.{{cite web |access-date = 1 July 2008 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110725190538/http://www.commonlii.org/in/legis/num_act/sra1956250/ |archive-date = 25 July 2011 File:Karnataka 1956 Reorg.svg|Map of southern India before the reorganisation of 1956 with the blue outline of the expanded Mysore State (after 1956) File:Mysore 1956.jpg|Unified Mysore State
