Q24
Indian PolityMaking of the Constitution & Salient Features
Choose the correct statement stated in the Constitution of India:
  1. a.India, that is Bharat, shall be a Federation of States.
  2. b.India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.
  3. c.India, that is Bharat, shall be a Quasi Federal State.
  4. d.India, that is Bharat, shall be a Unitary State.

Answer: (B) India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.

Article 1(1) reads 'India, that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States.' The Constitution never uses the words 'federation', 'quasi-federal' or 'unitary' — 'quasi-federal' is only K. C. Wheare's description of it.
