Answers
Answer:
Federalism is a system of government in which power is divided between a central authority and constituent political units.
Indian Federalism is different from the type of Federalism practiced in
the countries like the United States of America.
Is India a true federation?
Indian model of federalism is called quasi-federal system as it contains major features of both a federation and union. It can be better phrased as ‘federation sui generis‘ or federation of its own kind.
Article 1 of the Constitution of India states that ‘India that is Bharat shall be a union of states’.
Indian federation was not a product of coming together of states to form the federal union of India. It was rather a conversion of a unitary system into a federal system.
It is a compromise between two conflicting considerations such as autonomy enjoyed by states within the constitutionally prescribed limit (State List) and the need for a strong centre in view of the unity and integrity of the country (Union List).
Critical Assessment of Federal System in India
The temperament of federalism in India during the coalition era has been changed discernibly.
Political deliberation seems to surpass the administrative and financial aspects of the Union-state relations in India.
The states having the governments of those parties that form part of the central
coalition give the impression that to have little conflict with the Centre. Their complaint is submissive or subdued and the general awareness is that they get particular contemplation and hold in matters of resources approved by the Centre.
As a consequence, it is raising that noise
sometimes that the Centre is being partial against the states having governments of the
opposition parties. However, when one becomes aware of the allocations of the Central plan fund released by the Planning Commission on an annual basis, it appears that there is no such obtrusive discrimination. There is called for a more widespread perception of evenhandedness
and fairness.
