    Question

    ​The 36th Amendment made Sikkim a full-fledged state of the Indian Union and omitted the Schedule.​

    A.

    Ninth



    B.

    Eleventh

    C.

    Tenth

    D.

    Eighth

    Correct option is C

    Correct Answer:(c) Tenth

    Explanation:
    The 36th Amendment Act of 1975 granted Sikkim full statehood, making it the 22nd state of the Indian Union. Prior to this, the 35th Amendment Act of 1974 had conferred upon Sikkim the status of an "Associate State", introducing Article 2A and the Tenth Schedule, which outlined the terms and conditions of this association. The 36th Amendment repealed Article 2A and omitted the Tenth Schedule, thereby fully integrating Sikkim as a state.

    Key Points for Exam:
    ● 35th Amendment Act, 1974: Granted Sikkim the status of an "Associate State" and introduced Article 2A along with the Tenth Schedule.
    ● 36th Amendment Act, 1975: Repealed Article 2A, omitted the Tenth Schedule, and granted full statehood to Sikkim.
    ● Significance: Sikkim became the 22nd state of India, fully integrated into the Indian Union.

    This amendment marked the complete constitutional integration of Sikkim into India.
