Detailed Solution

India is a union of 28 states and eight union territories. Until 2019, India was a union of 29 states and eight regions. The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act 2019 took away the status of the state. The territory has been bifurcated into two union territories—Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh. Also, the two union territories—Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu—brought the number of union territories to eight. Hence, the current status of the Indian federation comprises 28 states and eight union territories. The Indian states have been organised based on linguistic variations. For the convenience of administration, the nation has been divided into states.
