Analyze whether the president's rule is against the spirit of federalism

Answer:
pretty strong, just read this article
Explanation:
As of now, the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister E Palanisamy of the AIADMK seems to be in charge of affairs. The political turmoil in Tamil Nadu seems to have subsided, albeit temporarily. It could well be a lull before another storm. After Palanisamy had won the trust vote in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, the opposition DMK petitioned the Madras High Court to cancel the vote. The Madras High Court adjourned the hearing of the petition till the week starting on February 27. In case the trust vote is cancelled, the focus will again shift to the future behaviour of the Governor of Tamil Nadu vis-à-vis asking for a new trust vote and government continuation or formation.

With the guilty verdict on Sasikala Natarajan, the stand of the Governor of Tamil Nadu in not inviting Sasikala to form the government or prove her majority has been hailed in certain quarters as evidence of his farsightedness. The governor of Tamil Nadu might have been farsighted because he set his sight on things that are far from his brief. And that is a huge problem in a federal democracy like the Indian Union. Also Read - Capital punishment or not? After O.Panneerselvam had resigned from the position of General Secretary of the AIADMK, Sasikala Narataran became the General Secretary. O.Panneerselvam thereafter tendered his resignation from the Chief Minister's post, according to the unanimous (which now appears to be not unanimous but a huge majority) wishes of the legislature party of the AIADMK in the Tamil Nadu Assembly. The Governor of Tamil Nadu accepted his resignation, and O.Panneerselvam was asked to continue as the caretaker Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu till a new Chief Minister was appointed. The AIADMK wanted Sasikala Natarajan to be the new Chief Minister, and a stupendous majority of the MLAs of the AIADMK elected her the leader of the AIADMK legislature party in a meeting of MLAs. None of this was illegal. At this point, O.Panneerselvam rebelled against the AIADMK party leadership and claimed that actually, most AIADMK MLAs were secretly supportive of him. He also argued that Sasikala Natarajan and her associates were holding AIADMK MLAs in particular locations against their wish. This is kidnapping. If this charge were true, the then acting Chief Minister O.Panneerselvam had the authority to send in police to these locations and rescue the so-called 'kidnapped' MLAs. He did no such thing but continue to parrot the kidnapping theory. His bluff was called when even after Sasikala's arrest, the AIADMK legislature party, ostensibly freed from the clutches of Sasikala were now free to choose their leader. They did, and they did not choose Panneerselvam but rallied behind E Palanisamy, the successor who has full support of Sasikala. In the trust vote, 122 MLAs voted for the AIADMK government led by E Palanisamy. The Panneerselvam camp could garner only 11 votes. Sasikala's chosen successor Palanisamy showed he commanded an absolute majority in the Tamil Nadu Assembly and a stupendous majority among AIADMK MLAs. Through all of these events, what has been most troubling is the undemocratic behaviour of the Governor of Tamil Nadu. It appears that the Governor of Tamil Nadu C Vidyasagar Rao essentially chose to suspend democracy in Tamil Nadu for quite a few days and continued with an unrepresentative and hence undemocratic regime instead.
The federalism is totally against the Presidential Rule.
Explanation:
The federalism means that the executive and legal powers are vested into the state in concern and has no little or no interference. India has a quasi-federalism type of system where the state enjoy federalism over most of the subject but are also subjected to central government rule on overall.
Presidential rule takes over the state government and is governed by the President completely evoked through Article 356.
