Question and options
How does Article 1(1) of the Constitution of India describe India?
As a Federation of States
As a Federation of States and Territories
As a Union of States
As a Union of States and Territories
Answer and explanation
Article 1(1) declares that India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States. The word 'federation' is not used, and the Union territories are dealt with separately in Article 1(3), which lists the territory of India, so they are not part of the description in clause (1).
