Explanation

The States Reorganisation Commission (SRC) was appointed in 1953 with three members: Justice Fazl Ali (Chairman), K.M. Panikkar, and Hridayanath Kunzru. Potti Sriramulu was NOT a member - he was a Telugu freedom fighter who died in December 1952 after a fast unto death for Andhra state, which actually CREATED the momentum that led to the SRC's formation. His death preceded the commission's appointment.
