Question

on which type of principals is the Indian Union based ?

Answer 1

The Indian Union is based on the principle of ‘Holding Together Federation’ i.e., the Union to the unit rather than from the units to the Union. Our Constitution says that "India shall be a ‘Union of States’. It is basically a federal system with striking unitary features. Hence, it is also called ‘Quasifederal.’
‘The power sharing’ arrangement in our country is mainly based on the ‘Quasifederal nature’ of the federation. The constitution therefore, clearly provides a three-fold distribution of Legislative powers between the union government and the state government. These folds are:
(i) Union List
(ii) State List
(iii) Concurrent List
