9(1), 2022: p.135-146 Federalism is basically a method of dividing sovereignty between the national and regional governments so that each can work independently in its own sphere. At international level United States Constitution is considered to be a classical example of federalism. However, there are other constitutions which although deviate from strict federal principles but are still regarded as federal. Indian constitution is one such example. It is regarded as a federal constitution in its own unique way. The paper thus will examine the different meanings associated with federalism. A comparative study of different federal constitutions at international level will be made and comparisons will be drawn with the Indian constitution. The paper will also focus on the attitude of Indian judiciary towards federalism in India. – Reproduced Federalism, Federal setup, Asymmetric, Supreme Court Kashmir Journal of Legal Studies 220719
