Please answer my question fast it's urgent..........

Answer 1

Federal power sharing reduces the tensions of conflict and disintegration.It promotes unity of the country and tries to accommodate regional diversities.India realised the effectiveness of federal power sharing and therefore adopted steps like formation of new states on linguistic basis which made India more united as states got privilege to promote their native language.No language was imposed on any community.

Moreover, there is no national language in India.Apart from Hindi, 21 other languages were recognised by the constitution.In the field of centre- state relations also a new culture of coalition government has emerged since 1990.

Many regional parties rose in power in many states.Now the respect and autonomy of the state governments has increased.Without their support no major political power can form the government.The Central Government cannot dismiss the state governments arbitrarily.

From the above discussion it is clear that federal power sharing is more effective today than.

Answer 2

(i) Centre-State relations: As and when the ruling party at the State level was different, the parties that ruled at the Centre tried to undermine the power of the states. The Central Government has been misusing the Constitution to dismiss the State governments that were controlled by rival parties. This undermined the spirit of federalism. All this changed significantly after 1990. This period saw the rise of regional political parties in many states of the country.
(ii) Coalition Governments and autonomy of states: The era of coalition has changed the relationship between the centre and state governments since no single party got a clear majority in the LokSabha, the major national parties had to enter into an alliance with many parties including several regional parties to form a government at the Centre. This led to a new culture of power sharing and respect for the autonomy of State Governments.
(iii) Judgement of the Supreme Court: The Supreme Court of India has established strict guidelines for imposing President’s rule. With new guidelines it is very difficult for the Central Government to dismiss state governments in an arbitrary manner. Thus, federal power sharing is more effective today than it was in the early years after the Constitution came into force.
