A union territory is an administrative division of India. Unlike states, which have their own local governments, union territories are ruled directly by the national government. The history of India (numerous ethnic groups: each group had its own leader & each leader pasted its deep remark on the people & the rule of British) divided India. Like the United States, India is also divided into many states but it is also divided into union territories.
India is currently (2012) divided into-28 states and 7 union territories:
The states, have their own elected governments, BUT union territories are ruled directly by the federal national government; the President of India appoints an Administrator or Lieutenant-Governor for each territory. As of 2006, there are seven union territories. Delhi was made the National Capital Territory in 1991 and is on its way to statehood
The following are the current union territories of India:
* Andaman and Nicobar Islands
* Chandigarh
* Dadra and Nagar Haveli
* Daman and Diu
* Lakshadweep
* Pondicherry
* National Capital Territory of Delhi
