India’s federal structure is unique, flexible, and dynamic. This lecture on “Union and Its Territory & Special Provisions for Certain States” explains how the Constitution of India defines the Union, its States, and Union Territories under Articles 1 to 4, and why India is described as an indestructible Union of destructible States. The session also covers Special Provisions under Part XXI (Articles 371 to 371J), highlighting the concept of asymmetric federalism adopted to address regional diversity, historical background, cultural identity, and administrative requirements of certain states. Special focus is given to states like Maharashtra, Gujarat, Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, and Karnataka, along with constitutional rationale, key features, and exam-oriented insights. This lecture is extremely useful for UPSC CSE, GPSC, and other State Civil Services exams, helping aspirants build conceptual clarity for Prelims, Mains, and Interviews with constitutional articles, examples, and current relevance after the abrogation of Article 370. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The address is: Bubna's IAS 314-315 , Avadh Arena, 3rd Floor, Above Croma showroom, Near Indian Oil Petrol Pump, VIP road, Surat. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Contact Number : 9909556660 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT LINKS Website: https://bubnasias.com/ Instagram: / bubnasias Telegram: https://t.me/bubnasias YouTube: / @bubnasias Google Reviews: https://g.page/r/CXlJ2QWU-AJAEAo/review WhatsApp chat: https://Wa.me/919909556660 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Other Courses :- UPSC / GPSC FOUNDATION COURSE IN SURAT GEOGRAPHY OPTIONAL IN SURAT SOCIOLOGY OPTIONAL IN SURAT POLITICAL SCIENCE OPTIONAL IN SURAT UPSC / GPSC PRELIMS TEST SERIES UPSC / GPSC MAINS TEST SERIES INTERVIEW PREPARATION UPSC / GPSC COMPLETE MENTORING #UPSC #UPSC2025 #UPSCPolity #IndianPolity #UnionOfIndia #UnionTerritory #SpecialProvisions #Article371 #IndianConstitution #Laxmikant #UPSCPreparation #UPSCPrelims #UPSCMains #PolityLecture #PolityForUPSC #IASExam #CivilServicesExam
