What happens to a linguistic minority in a state?

It may eventually lead to hatred,violence etc. For example: In India, after Independence, during the making of the Constitution, the Congress had been adamant that no language(English) could supersede Hindi as the national language. But soon they had to change their opinion when the southern states of India warned them that if Hindi would be imposed on them, then they would separate from India. So to prevent blatant occurrence of a carnage and to maintain unity in diversity the government could not entirely end the use of English in India.( This is an example of a linguistic majority. If it had been linguistic minority then apparently English (in this case) would have been easily imposed on the southern states.)

Why was there a reluctance to divide the country on linguistic lines after independence?

I am not sure which country you are asking about, but let's look at India for one good example. In India, a large number of languages are spoken, but as any sociologist knows, a country needs a national language and national customs/rituals, so that the people feel a sense of unity. Thus, English and Hindi became the dominant means of communication, while all the other languages were permitted but not encouraged as much as English and Hindi were. The danger with dividing a country by linguistic boundaries is that each group will never feel part of the country as a whole, and will only be loyal to their own group (this applies to language, religion, culture, etc); further, the members of that group will not learn to communicate with others in the country, making it impossible to create a feeling of nationhood. Thus, most countries, when they become independent, strive to find a common language and a common set of customs, to ensure that the people will develop a love of country and not just remain within their particular ethnic or linguistic group.
