Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
The Indian Constitution has a subject-wise division of legislative powers of the central and state. It is mentioned in the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution. This division of legislative powers is divided into three lists- (1)Union list, (2)State List (3)Concurrent list. The subjects mentioned under the Union List come under the union government. The subjects of national importance are under the Union List, as those are the crucial subjects like defence, currency, foreign affairs, etc., which need a unanimous law for the nation. Keeping them on any other list can hinder national growth and security. The subjects in the State List, like police, agriculture, etc., are legislated upon by the states. The Concurrent List is the shared list between the union and state government, and both can legislate the subjects mentioned under this like education, forest, adoption, etc.
The correct statement would be national defence is included in the Union List.
