Explanationव्याख्या
According to the source, at the commencement of the Constitution the states associated with the Indian Union were classified into four categories—A, B, C and D.
This classification belonged to the early constitutional territorial arrangement of 1950.
The source further gives the numerical distribution: nine states in Category A, nine in Category B, ten in Category C and one territory in Category D, making a total of 29 units in this classification.
It identifies the Andaman and Nicobar Islands as the Category D territory.
The source later states that the Seventh Constitutional Amendment of 1956 reduced the classification to two broad categories: states and Union territories.
Therefore, students should associate four categories with the original 1950 arrangement and two categories with the reorganisation under the Seventh Amendment.
स्रोत के अनुसार संविधान लागू होने के समय भारतीय संघ से संबंधित राज्यों को चार श्रेणियों—A, B, C और D—में विभाजित किया गया था। यह 1950 की प्रारंभिक संवैधानिक क्षेत्रीय व्यवस्था थी। स्रोत आगे बताता है कि A श्रेणी में 9 राज्य, B श्रेणी में 9 राज्य, C श्रेणी में 10 राज्य और D श्रेणी में 1 राज्य-क्षेत्र था। इस प्रकार कुल 29 इकाइयां थीं। D श्रेणी में अंडमान और निकोबार द्वीप समूह को रखा गया था। बाद में 1956 के सातवें संविधान संशोधन द्वारा इन श्रेणियों को समाप्त करके दो व्यापक वर्ग—राज्य और संघ राज्य-क्षेत्र—निर्धारित किए गए। परीक्षा के लिए 1950 = चार श्रेणियां और 1956 = दो श्रेणियां याद रखें।
