Economic & Political WeeklySummary: In a landscape where constitutional amendments can swiftly reshape the contours of governance, Article 368 of the Indian Constitution reveals a paradox. Its dual-track process promises protection for federal principles, yet it narrowly defines what constitutes a “federal issue,” leaving crucial aspects of India’s federalism vulnerable to the whims of Parliament. As we witness the reorganisation of states, debates over the nation’s name, and the push for simultaneous elections, it becomes evident that the safeguards against unilateral alterations are insufficient. – Reproduced
