India consists of 29 states and 7 Union Territories. All states and territories, including the two union territories of Puducherry and the National Capital Territory of Delhi, have elected legislatures and governments patterned on the Westminster system. The other five union territories are directly ruled by the Centre through appointed administrators. In 1956, under the States Reorganisation Act, states were formed on a linguistic basis.^[1] (See also: Political integration of India.) Since then, this structure has remained largely unchanged. Each state or union territory is further divided into administrative districts.^[2] The districts in turn are further divided into tehsils and eventually into villages.
