| Summary, etc. |
The founding fathers gave to India a Union model of federalism, which critically blends the best features of all the important types of federalism. The emerging Indian model reconciles the imperatives of a strong centre with the need for state autonomy. It distributes powers, yet does not effect a rigid compartmentalization. Functionally it is an interdependent arrangement, where centre and states collectively aspire and work towards the welfare of the people. Working aberrations have caused frictions in the centre-state relations, therefore, demands for decentralization. This, however, does not require major changes but functional modifications in the Constitution. Necessity of autonomy needs to be balanced with the imperatives of integration. - Reproduced. |
