Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: Articles 371A–371I contain special constitutional provisions tailored to address regional demands and circumstances of states such as Nagaland, Assam, Manipur, Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh and Goa. Statement 2 is incorrect: although both India and the United States have a dual polity of centre and states, India provides for single (national) citizenship, whereas the United States recognises citizenship of both the nation and the individual states [1]. Statement 3 is incorrect: the law recognises loss of Indian citizenship by renunciation, termination or deprivation; naturalised citizens can be deprived of citizenship under statutory and constitutional provisions (e.g., on grounds such as fraud) [2]. Hence only statement 1 is correct.
