Question

The constitution declared india as a union of state but not the word federation while it is based on principle of federation explain it

Answer 1

The constitution did not use the word federation but it has divided the powers into 3 levels i.e. Central state and local
In Indian constitution we can also see the distribution of powers in the form of lists i.e. Union state and concurrent
So each level of govt has its own jurisdiction
But central govt has more power than state thus we can call India a federation


Hope this may help u...

Answer 2

Yes the constitution declared India as a union of states but India is a Federal country as most of it’s features are similar to the features of federalism.

For eg: There are two or more levels of government. This is a feature of federalism.
India also has more than two levels of government.

Since India follow most of the principles of federalism, India is called a Federal country.
