Are you in favour of federalism. Give reason for your answer
Answers
Federalism, mode of political organization that unites separate states or other polities within an overarching political system in a way that allows each to maintain its own integrity. Federal systems do this by requiring that basic policies be made and implemented through negotiation in some form, so that all the members can share in making and executing decisions. The political principles that animate federal systems emphasize the primacy of bargaining and negotiated coordination among several power centres; they stress the virtues of dispersed power centres as a means for safeguarding individual and local liberties.
Answer:
Yes, federalism has helped India to grow in different aspects
India is a very diverse country with more than 20 major languages and enormous geographical diversity as well.
Federalism facilitates division of power and helps to accommodate and recognise regional diversity in India.
It provides some sort of autonomy to the states, to form policies in their favour.
In a diverse and over populous country like India, centralised policies would not work efficiently. Thus, it was necessary for India to be a federation.
Federalism prevent centralisation of authority, and helps in the integration of the nation.
