Question

There are about 100 subjects in the

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 100 subjects in the Union List of India. Why do we count 97?

The Union List or List-I is a list of 100 items (the last item is numbered 97) given in in the on which has exclusive power to legislate. The legislative section is divided into three lists: Union List, State List and . Unlike the of the United States, Switzerland or Australia, residual powers remain with the , as with the Canadian federal government.

There are 100 items on the list, of which one is no longer in force. So it comes down to 99

Now as you see the list it has 97 subjects, instead of 99 isn”t it.

Check closely subject 2 & 2A are two different subjects so it comes to 97+1 = 98

Now Subject 92 is omitted . So it comes down to 98–1 = 97

Now subject 92 has two more parts 92 A & 92 B = 97+2 =99 ( not considering 92 C that”s omitted too)

So basically the number gets down to 99 as pointed out in the Wiki link.
