The Governors themselves sold to the wishes of political masters at the Centre causing abysmal fall of their constitutional authority. Their partisan and selfish acts have reduced the Indian federalism into a mockery of state autonomy. - Reproduced.  aFederalism - India  aGovernors - India  aGovernors  aIndian Journal of Public Administration
