Explanation:

1 only

The statement "The states in India have no right to territorial integrity" is incorrect. States in India do have the right to territorial integrity as enshrined in the Constitution.

The statement "The Parliament can change the area, boundaries or name of any state by a special majority" is incorrect. The Parliament cannot unilaterally change the area, boundaries, or name of any state. Such changes require the consent of the concerned state legislature as well as a constitutional amendment passed by a two-thirds majority in both the Houses of Parliament.

The statement "Both the Centre and the States in India can initiate an amendment of the constitution" is incorrect. Only the Parliament, and not the states, can initiate an amendment of the Constitution. However, certain amendments require the ratification by the states as per Article 368 of the Constitution.

Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
