If federalism works only in big countries, why did Belgium adopt it?

Because even though it is a small country, it has diverse population made up of multilingual groups. These linguistic groups have their own intersects which might lead to social conflict. So, to avoid and possible social conflict and political instability, Belgium adopted federal system of power sharing.

Answer 2

Politics and governance is not run by logics but law.

At zila parishad level, please be informed that chairman of zila parishad called the mayor only runs the government and district magistrates or collector supervises the administration. Collector or DM are the officers of government and not the head of government. Their primary duties are to collect tax and keep the district in prescribed order.
For your understanding, what collectors are at district level, chief secretaries are at state level and home secretary and principal secretary at centre level.
