There are two principal reason for which I wish to move this amendment. The term ‘a State’ is definitely one which restricts and limits the interpretation and meaning of this article. We can very easily contemplate the possibility of acquiring by conquest or otherwise new territories for India. So far as the definition of “the territories of India” is concerned, at present article 1 clause (3) says:
“The territory of India shall comparise-
(a) the territories of the States;
(b) the territories for the time being specified in Part IV of the First Schedule; and
(c) such other territories as may be acquired.”
