Different states of India celebrate their birthdays (technically called foundation days) differently. Some celebrate it on their statehood day - i.e. the day they became a state, for example, the southern states all celebrate their birthdays on 1st November. (2/16)
Some other states pick their birthday when they got some official status. Himachal for example got full statehood in 1971 but it regards its birth year as 1948 as then it was established as a Chief Commissioner's Province post Independence. It later became a UT in 1956. (3/16)
