Question

The Union territory of India may work

Answer 1

Explanation:

After independence in 1947, States were divided into 4 lists.

Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D.

In 1956, States reorganization act was passed and mostly states mentioned in Part C and Part D were either merged into states mentioned in Part A and Part B and left were termed as union territories.

So, in 1956, Andaman and Nicobar, Delhi , Himanchal pradesh, Manipur, Tripura and Laccadive minicoy and amindivi island (later collectively becomes Lakshadweep) were 6 union territories of India.

Then, Goa, Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Puducherry ceded to Indian. Some Union territories like Himanchal pradesh, Manipur and Tripura later gained statehood.

So, now only 7 union territories remains Delhi, Andaman and Nicobar, Lakshadweep, Dadra and Nagar haveli, Daman and Diu, Puducherry and Chandigarh.

Union Territories to States:

Many of the present states were Union Territories once. Eventually, the local politicians convinced the Central government to upgrade their UT to a state with limited powers. Himachal Pradesh got the upgrade in 1971, Manipur, Meghalaya & Tripura in 1972, Goa, Mizoram & Arunachal in 1987.
