Which Article of the Indian Constitution refers to India as a “Union of States”?
भारतीय संविधान के कौन से अनुच्छेद में भारत को ‘राज्यों का संघ’ बताया गया हैं?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Article 1/अनुच्छेद 1
Explanation
Article 1 of the Indian Constitution states:
“India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.”
This means:
- India is not formed by an agreement among states (unlike the USA).
- States do not have the right to secede (leave the Union).
- The Union is indestructible, but states can be reorganized.
भारतीय संविधान का अनुच्छेद 1 कहता है:
“भारत, अर्थात् इंडिया, राज्यों का एक संघ होगा।”
इसका अर्थ:
- भारत राज्यों के समझौते से बना संघ नहीं है।
- कोई भी राज्य संघ से अलग नहीं हो सकता।
- संघ स्थायी है, लेकिन राज्यों की सीमाएँ बदली जा सकती हैं।
