Explanation

The Constitution (35th Amendment) Act of 1974 is specifically related to the state of Sikkim. Historically, Sikkim was a British protectorate that continued its relationship with India after 1947, with the Indian government managing its defense, external affairs, and communications [3]. In 1974, following a resolution by the Sikkim Assembly, the Indian Parliament enacted the 35th Amendment to grant Sikkim the status of an 'associate state' within the Indian Union [2][3]. This amendment introduced Article 2A and the Tenth Schedule to define the terms of this unique association [2][3]. However, this status was short-lived; in 1975, the 36th Amendment was passed, which repealed the associate status and admitted Sikkim as the 22nd full-fledged state of India. Other states like Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh achieved statehood later through different legislative processes [3].
