Q:

Which of the following statements regarding Indian federal system is/are correct?

1.All States have equal representation in the Rajya Sabha.

2.Consent of a State is not required for altering its boundaries.

3.There is no dual citizenship in India.

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

A) 1, 2 and 3	B) 2 and 3 only
C) 1 and 3 only	D) 2 only

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 2 and 3 only

Explanation:

Besides some federal features,the Constitution of India also has some unitary features as well. All States have no equal representation in the Rajya Sabha,because in India the states are given representation in the Rajya Sabha on the basis of population. Hence, the number of representatives varies from state to state, for instance, Uttar Pradesh has 31 members whereas Tripura has only 1 member.This principle is considered as a safeguard for smaller states.States in India also have no right to territorial integrity. The Parliament can change the area,boundaries or name of any state by unilateral action, So the consent of a State is not required for altering its boundaries,Moreover,despite dual Polity,the Constitution of India adopted the system of Single citizenship.There is only Indian citizenship and no separate state citizenship.
