    D Both I and II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    It is argued that India is at an inflection point vis-a-vis Centre-State relations owing to increasing asymmetry. Statement 1 is not correct: The preamble does not mention India as a Federal state. Statement 2 is not correct: Article 1 of the Indian Constitution states, ‘India, that is Bharat, shall be a union of states’. Statement 3 is correct: The word federation is not mentioned in the constitution. This means India is a union comprising of various states which are an integral part of it. Here, the states cannot break away from the union.
