Which Article of the Constitution empowers the Parliament to create new states, alter their boundaries, even their names ?
Answer: C
The power comes from Article 3.
Article 3 lets Parliament, by law, form a new state by separating territory from a state or uniting states, increase or reduce the area of any state, and alter the boundaries or name of any state. A bill for this needs the President's recommendation, and the President must refer it to the state legislature concerned for its views.
Article 4 says such laws are not constitutional amendments under Article 368. Article 5 deals with citizenship at the commencement of the Constitution, and Article 17 abolishes untouchability.
