🔍 Explanation

It simply says that whatever changes are made under Articles 2 and 3 will not be deemed to be amendments under Article 368 of the Constitution.

There are two things here, first, the change has been talked about under Articles 2 and 3 and the second thing is Article 368.

So Article 1, which is only about the details of India, cannot be changed in any way with the help of it. That’s why only Article 2 and 3 are there with the help of which changes can be brought in the map of India.

Secondly, Article 368 is for the amendment of the constitution, if any kind of amendment is done under Article 368, then a special majority is required in it.

Article 4 clearly states that changes made through Articles 2 and 3 will not be considered under Article 368. This means that such a law can be passed with a simple majority and through the ordinary legislative process. ↗️ Click here to know in detail about Article 368.
