Question

Explain how colision and aliance have strengthened federal policies.

Answer 1

The real success of federalism in India can be attributed to the nature of democratic politics

in our country. This ensured that the spirit of federalism, respect for diversity and desire for

living together became a shared ideal in our country. The policies that have strengthened

federalism in India are :

(i) Some new states have been created on the basis of either language, culture, ethnicity or

geography. This has made administration easier.

(ii) Even though Hindi was identified as the official language by our Constitution, other

languages have also been protected. Besides Hindi, there are 21 other languages

recognized as scheduled languages by the Constitution. States too have their own official

languages. Thus, not declaring Hindi a national language or imposing it on all the states

has strengthened federalism.

(iii) By restructuring the centre-state relations, federalism has got strengthened. Earlier, the

central government could easily dismiss the state governments which were controlled by

the rival parties. But after 1990, there was a rise of regional political parties in many states

of the country. The era of coalition governments which needs an alliance with many parties

including several regional parties to form a government at the centre, has led to a new

culture of power sharing and respect for the autonomy of the states.
