Article 2 of the Indian Constitution

 Article 2 of the Indian Constitution deals with the admission or establishment of new states into the Union of India.

🔹 Article 2: Admission or establishment of new States

"Parliament may by law admit into the Union, or establish, new States on such terms and conditions as it thinks fit."

✅ Key Points in Brief:

• Authority: Gives Parliament the power to:

  • Admit new states (e.g., previously independent territories).

  • Establish new states (e.g., by reorganizing territories).

• Conditions: Parliament can set any terms and conditions for such admission/establishment.

• This article was used for the integration of princely states, merger of territories, and creation of new states (like Sikkim in 1975).

🗺️ It differs from Article 3, which deals with changing boundaries, names, or creating new states from existing ones.
