| Summary, etc. |
India has historically evolved as distinctive form of cooperative federalism with in-built constitutional mechanism of accommodating diversity as valid element of Indian nationalism. Forms of accommodation structurally depend on nature of party system, and degree of centralisation and decentralisation at a particular point of time. State autonomy may not all the time be minority accommodating or protecting. Union has pre-eminent responsibility towards minorities. Also mere grant of cultural autonomy will not guarantee development, or to preserve a threatened culture. The form which any particular manifestation of autonomy takes must be concisely related to the goals of the community which aspires it, as well asto the requirements of the larger state policy. Relative convergence of territory, group and polity may institutionalise minorities as bonafide partners in the making of India. The present paper historically analyses Indian federalism and its inherent limitations and challenges particularly from the perspective of socio-cultural pluralism. - Reproduced. |
