States of India since 1947

Note: Between 26 Jan 1950 and 1 Nov 1956 there were four types of divisions: Part A states (under a governor), Part B states (under a rajpramukh), Part C states (under a chief commissioner), and one Part D territory; from 1956 there were only states (former Part A and B states) and union territories (former Part C states and Part D territory). Note: States and territories do not have flags, but the governments of states can be represented by a white banner depicting the emblem of the state. Only the state of Jammu and Kashmir had a flag until 2019.
