INTRODUCTION

Every nation requires a few laws and regulations to aid in its development. Additionally, it will contribute to a harmonious society in the nation. These laws are prepared in the Indian Constitution, as they are in many other nations. India has one of the best constitutions in the world. The fundamental rights and obligations of each citizen are outlined in the Indian Constitution. But how are these regulations created, we wonder? What kinds of regulations does it contain? Who adheres to these laws? Let’s talk about the Indian Constitution in detail to learn all these details. Do you know how and where our country has been named INDIA? And can we change our state names?  Our Indian constitution has mentioned that we can change our state names. Let’s know about what are said to be union territories, etc. The Indian constitution consists of 22 parts, the first part deals with the union and its territories. Part one of the Indian constitution has articles 1-4 let’s see briefly.

ARTICLE-1

The articles of the constitution are about how the people of India should live and how the political system works in our country, In article one of the Indian constitution is about the names and territories of our country, Mainly the constitution is made for the country, so firstly we have to give the name to the country then we will look into the people of our country and India that is Bharat has been named to our country it is noted in the sub-article of article 1 of the Indian constitution and it also includes about the territories and they were divided into three parts.

 

1. 1. State territories:- Woodrow Wilson said “ the state is a people organized for law within a definite territory” and the main elements of a state are population, government, territory, sovereignty, and international recognization.

1. 1. Union territories:- Union territories are controlled by the central government whereas the state has a separate government body.

 

3. 3. Other territories:- This is an opportunity for the other territorial countries or states to be bound in the Indian territory.

ARTICLE-2

As we can see in article one sub-article three, the other territories have been named so it states that if any state or any country is willing to be bound in the territory of india and we have some other territories which were not in the territory of india after the freedom by using this article we can include those states or countries in our Indian territory, As we can see after the independence of India Pondicherry in 1954, Goa in 1961, Sikkim in 1975 was included in our territory. these three were attached to India but not part of India then after there were included as part of India, when we see Sikkim was ruled by kings they asked India that they want to become associated with India which means they want to give the powers of their abroad dealings and the soldiers to India but at last after so many discussions Sikkim is a part of India even now if any countries nothing but the other countries can become a part of India by using this article two of the Indian constitution.

ARTICLE -3

In this article, we can add states we can repel the states, and can change state names, let’s see briefly

3(a) states that with the help of this article, two states can collide with each other, and two states can be divided by each other. 

3(b) states that by using this article we can increase the area of a state.

3(c) states that by using this article we can decrease the area of a state. 

3(d) states that by using this article we bring changes in the border areas of the states, as we can see there are still some border conflicts arising between the states

3(e) states that we can change a state’s name and that parliament has full authority in this. 

ARTICLE-4

This article states that any law referred to in Articles 2 or 3 shall contain such provisions for the amendment of the First Schedule and the fourth Schedule as are necessary to give effect to the provisions of such law and shall also be deemed to contain such additional, incidental, and consequential provisions as the Parliament may from time to time determine to be necessary and This Article provides for consequential modifications to the First Schedule, which deals with the names of the States in the Union of India, and the fourth Schedule, which deals with the number of seats given in the Rajya Sabha for each state. Any such statute that modifies or creates new States will not be regarded as an amendment to the Constitution.
