India’s Federal Setup: A Journey through Seven Decades by R Mohan, New Delhi: Aakar Books, 2023; pp 264, ₹ 795.
India’s Federal Setup: A Journey through Seven Decades is faithful to the title and maps the journey of Indian federalism since the inauguration of the Constitution. This is a timely contribution by R Mohan, given that serious questions have been raised about federalism over the last decade. The book has 14 chapters, including an introduction and a preface by John Harris. The author uses eight sub-periods to make sense of the trajectory of federalism in India, employing party systems and regime changes at the centre as referral points. –Reproduced
