• Punjab: Master Tara Singh strongly supported the demand for a separate Punjabi-speaking state, which later resulted in the formation of Punjab in 1966.
• Assam: The Assam Movement against illegal immigrants and outsiders was started by student organizations such as the All Assam Students' Union (AASU).
• Mizoram: The Mizo Peace Accord was signed in 1986 between Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Mizo National Front leader Laldenga, leading to peace and the creation of Mizoram as a state.
