This paper
investigates the impact of official language policies on education using state
formation in India. Colonial provinces consisted of some districts where the
official language matched the district's language and some where it did not.
Linguistically mismatched districts have 18.0% lower literacy rates and 20.1%
lower college graduation rates, driven by difficulty in acquiring education due
to a different medium of instruction in schools. Educational achievement caught
up in mismatched districts after the 1956 reorganization of Indian states on
linguistic lines, suggesting that political reorganization can mitigate the
impact of mismatched language policies.<br><br><br>
