Article 1/अनुच्छेद 1
Explanation

“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.

- संघ स्थायी है, लेकिन राज्यों की सीमाएँ बदली जा सकती हैं।
