Answer 2

Answer:

B. N. Banerjee once stated that "Constitution of India is federal in form but unitary in spirit". This statement can be supported by given examples of some rules that are followed in India.

• Though there is division of central powers, they are still done in the favor of citizens.
• Even after been given powers, the states individually don't have the right to frame their own rules and laws.

Explanation:

The constitution of India states that India is a federal country. This means that the central power is divided among different levels of government in India. It is federal in form though, but is unitary in the spirit. This means the federalism do nothing but makes India more stronger and unitary.

1. The Central powers are distributed as per the needs of the public. This ensures the maximum output from government, making the public feel secure and safe.
2. A particular state doesn't have the right to form it's own laws as it may create dispute as well as chaos among different government bodies and public as well. This again ensures that everyone is equal and the India as a whole is ONE.
