The Federal Government
India is a Sovereign, Secular, Socialist, and a Parliamentary Federal Democratic Republic.
The Constitution of India, adopted on 26th November, 1949 by the Constituent Assembly is the Supreme Law of the land. The constitution came into effect on january 26, 1950, and January 26 is celebrated as REPUBLIC DAY throughtout the country.
The Constitution lays the framework defining fundamental political principles, structures the powers, procedures and duties of the governerment and outlines the fundamental rights and duties of its citizens.
India is a Federal Union of 28 States and 7 Union Territories. The Indian subcontinent, earlier, during British Rule (1857 - 1947) was divided into provinces, directly governed by the British Empire.
These provinces were locally controlled by the local Raja or by a local prince who were loyal to the British Monarchy. The States Reorganisation Act 1956 , abolished the province and princely state system and allowed for the creation of new states based on ethnicity and language.
According to Part XI of the COI, being a Federal Democratic republic, the affairs of the state are shared between the federal government at the Center, as well the states as per Part XI of the Constitution Of India, which describes the relations between the Union and the States.
The balance of power between the Center and the State is outlined in the Constitution by a State List, A Union List and a Concurrent List .
This system is largely followed, although at times contentious. The Sarkaria Commission was set up in June 1983 by the Central Government of India, to examine this relationship and to suggest reccomendations.
The general consensus is that the reccomendations, proposed by the committee in a final report in 1988, were largely ignored. The power distribution between the Center and the states continues to be an ongoing evolutionary process.
The parliamentary nature of the democracy allows for the elected body as to work in tandem with the appointed beuracracy to govern the country.
The beauracracy is appointed through the Civil Services and work to provide a formal administrative framework for governance.
