1 .The creation of Linguistic States was the first and a major test for democratic politics in our country.:
Many old States have vanished and many new States have been created. Areas, boundaries and names of the States have been changed. In 1947, the boundaries of several old States were changed in order to create new States. This was done to ensure that people who spoke the same language lived in the same State. Some States were created not on the basis of language but to recognise differences based on culture, ethnicityor geography. These include States like Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Jharkhand.
2.Language policy : A second test for Indian federation is the language policy. Our Constitution did not give the status of national language to any one language. Hindi was identified as the official language. ButHindi is the mother tongue of only about 40 per cent of Indians. Therefore, there were many safeguards to protect other languages. Besides Hindi, there are 21 other languages recognised as Scheduled Languages Constitution
3. Centre-State relations : restructuring the Centre - State relations is one more way in which federalism has been strengthened in practice . since 1990 , COALITION GOVTS were at the Centre. Since no single party got a clear majority in the Lok Sabha, the major national parties had to enter into an alliance with many parties including several regional parties to form a government at the Centre .

The practice of federalism in India is one of the best in the world . Here is how it is practiced 
1- The country has governments at the centre , states , districts , and other 
     divisions .
 2-The state governments are not subordinate to the central , which means the 
     central government cannot order the state governments to do something.
 3-There is a list of subjects for both the governments of centre and states .
     for eg the centre looks after currency , foreign affairs etc while the state 
     looks upon business , trade . Some factors like education are supervised
     by both .
 4- Both the regional and the central governments are independent of their
      powers .
