1. Name and Territory of Federation: The Federation hereby established shall be a sovereign independent Republic known as India.
Save as otherwise provided by or under this Constitution or any treaty or agreement, the territories included for the time being in Schedule I shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federation.
[Note: The structure proposed to be established by this Constitution being federal in character, the term Federation has been used.
“India” has been suggested for the name of the State as being the shortest and the most comprehensive.
The words “save as otherwise provided by or under any treaty or agreement” are necessary, because there may be Indian States which, though unfederated and there¬ fore not in the Schedule, may have ceded jurisdiction for certain special purposes by some treaty or agreement]
