The Constitution of India contains a series of 'Special Provisions' under Part XXI (Articles 371 to 371-J) to address the unique historical, social, and cultural needs of certain states. Article 371G specifically provides special provisions for the state of Mizoram. It ensures that no Act of Parliament shall apply to Mizoram in respect of: (a) religious or social practices of the Mizos, (b) Mizo customary law, and (c) ownership and transfer of land, unless the Legislative Assembly of Mizoram by a resolution decides that such Act shall apply.
Regarding the other options:
- Options a, b, and c (3471C, 571D, 662B) are non-existent article numbers in the Indian Constitution, as the Constitution does not have articles numbering in the 3000s, 500s, or 600s in that specific format. The special provisions for states are clustered in the 371 series.
