Jul-Sep This article analyses the role of linguistic nationalities and the business chambers in the federalisation of modern India that contributed to the decentralised, democratic political and constitutional construction. The process has been in continuation for the past 125 years, since 1885, when the Indian business chambers began to be formed among the different regional nationalities in India. But it was not a unilinear, uniform development; there were many ups and downs in this process. In the colonial era, it was politically represented by the Congress; in postcolonial era it has been initially represented by regional parties. - Reproduced.
