Question

india follow federalism but india not show itself federal country . why?

Answer 1

The constitutional law consists both of legal in the strict sense and of usages , commonly called as conventions, which without being enacted are accepted as binding by all who are concerned in government. Many rules and practices are not part of the law in the sense that there violation may lead to proceeding in a court of law.

Indian Constitution is aid to be a federal structure only because it is said that it has clear demarcation of boundaries between central & the state government similar to that of U.S. India having legislative and executive authority divided between the centre and the state.

Chief essentials for a constitution to be federal are:
1. Dispersion of powers between the center and the unit states forming federation among a number of co-ordinate bodies, controlled by constitution.
2. Rigidity – neither the center nor the state has power to amend the provision of constitution relating separation of powers.
3. A written constitution
4. Domination of the constitution – neither of center or state have power to nullify the constitution
5. An independent body and unprejudiced authority (Eg. Judiciary)

Answer 2
