Downloads
Abstract
There is no watertight segregation of federal structure in the world. It has been developed in accordance with the actual exigency of modern political experiments and experiences. Indian Constitution is not an exception to it. Indian federal structure is a federal system of its kind which has been influenced by the history, by the present circumstances and by the need of the future. Historically, India has been ruled by different dynastic like Mourya, Gupta, Mugals and Britishers. There influenced can be clearly visible in Indian federalism. Ruling from the center was a common feature of these dynastic rules. The influence of the British Rule in Indian federal structure is visible from the fact that the makers of the constitution followed the Government of India Act 1935 while making Indian federal constitution. However, the contemporary situation of partition of India in 1947 led the makers of the constitution to make India a centralized federalism. Again, they were aware about the fact that India is a land of diversities and its unity is essential and it must be preserved. It can be achieved if special power is given to the center. Thus, the present constitution is tilted toward the center while sharing the power between the center and the states.
