Main Body

As per Article 1, India is a Union of States i.e. states in India do not have right to cede from India and that right lies with centre. * why states have no conclusive say in creation bifurcation etc of state * (1) Founding Fathers of constitution thought that this would result in blueprint for balkanisation (2) Strong centre was necessary for efficient administration and hence rights of states needed to be curbed. (3) Giving conclusive say to assemblies will enhance politicization of already existing issues like Khalistan, Kashmir, Bodo Jans, etc

4Constitution wanted to clarify that division of states is only for administrative efficiency and India is whole one nation (5) Such conclusive say to assemblies will undermine the power of centre (6) Impact of foreign powers too might act if such conclusive say is given eg China's influence of Maoist (7) Such conclusive say over state existence will create chaos in political structure (8) Such say is a direct threat to integrity & unity of India and peoples allegiance might shift from nation country to state. Hence, we see that states do not have a conclusive say in their creation, dissolution and the imbalance is in hinges with government of India where we are aware that India is quasi-federal
