Indian Journal of Federal StudiesSummary: When we talk of centre-state relationship, the image that comes up is that of the centre of power and the periphery, while Union-State relationship would convey the picture of the relationship between the whole and the part. The Constitution of India conceived of the division of the country into states only for convenience of administration. It sought to achieve a smooth working relationship between the two levels of the Union and the states by tilting heavily in favour of the Union in all the fields of legislative, administrative and financial relations while retaining the structure of the Constitution as federal. In the present scenario both integrational and disintegrational - centripetal and centrifugal - forces are at work at the same time at various levels- political, economic, administrative and emotional. - Reproduced.
