In comparison to other countries where the historical process was to turn separate units into a federal union. Indian Federalism was not the result of a compromise between several territorial units but of the conversion of a unitary government into a federal system. Any review of political events would show that states are not the center's agents or tools. Despite this, the States were able to affirm their rights by their strong central tendency.
EXPLANATION:
- India's federal system is governed by the Indian Constitution. In addition to the independent, secular, democratic and republican nation, the country of India has a parliamentary form of government. The nation is essentially a union of 29 States and 7 territories of the United Nations that operate under the Indian Constitution of 16 November 1949. The head of the executive committee is the country's president in the Indian Federal System. However, both the real political and social power lie in the hands of the PM, who is in turn the head of the Council of Ministers. Under the Indian Federal System the Prime Minister and his Council of Ministers shall advise and assist the President, as stated in Article 74(1) of the Indian Constitution. Lok Sabha or the responsible to the Council of Members.
- In its extreme detail and substance, India's constitution is unique. The peculiarity of the Indian constitution is that it declares India to be a union of States, even though it is federal. The Indian Constitution sets up the dual powers of the Union and the State Governments to make laws on different subjects. The distinctive feature in this case is that the central government has residual powers. The Indian Federalism has a somewhat complex attribute, which is different to that of other countries.
- The written constitution is another characteristic that characterizes India as a federal country. The longest and the thickest constitution in the world describes the Indian Constitution specifically all issues from the right to cure. It strengthens the country's federal character and provides state and citizen protection. The power of the country is divided between three democratic pillars: the Legislature, the Executive and the judiciary. These three advocates support each other and are compatible with the independent judiciary that upholds and retains the supremacy of the Constitution.
- This ensures a rigorous corrective system. A bicameral parliament consisting of the Upper House (Rajya Sabha) and the Lower House (Lok Sabha) is laid down in the Constitution. For the States of the India Union, the Rajya Sabha is the stand-in and the Lok Sabha represents the Indian population as a whole. The Rajya Sabha (though a less powerful chamber) has to maintain federal stability by protecting the states ' interests against the unknown interference of the Centre. Thus India has really made itself federal under the Constitution, and it is the duty of all to respect the legal and moral sanctity of those great constitutional provisions.
