Concept of Article 2

Article 2 of the Constitution of India, the Parliament has the ultimate power of diminishing or exaggerating the area of a territory in order to establish or admit a new state in the Union of India. In order to establish a new state based on some circumstances, the state may stand a chance to influence the right of life of the population and the linguistic approach of the particular state.
