Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Details how India is described as a “Union of States.” The Constitution allows the reorganization of states, admission of new states, alteration of boundaries, and formation of Union Territories. Parliament has supreme authority to redraft state boundaries without the states’ consent, reflecting the unitary tilt. Over time, these provisions facilitated the creation of linguistic states, ensuring administrative convenience and accommodating regional aspirations. This flexibility has helped maintain national integrity while granting autonomy to regional identities. Students should note various reorganizations like the State Reorganization Act (1956), leading to dynamic federal frontiers that balance unity and diversity in India’s political setup.
