Federal structure of nation
in Current Affairs & Latest News
Presently, India is neither a full fledged federal state like U.S.A. nor a unitary state like Britain. The country is divided into states. The Central Govt.'s role is very significant and states are often described as 'dignified municipalities'. The point for discussion is whether the constitution be amended to make the country full fledged federal state. In that case states will have all powers except foreign affairs and currency management Should the states get more power?

    Is India a democracy or it is a democratic socialistic country. It is a sovereign country or a state ruled by a couple of families of politicians that are quite friendly with the capitalist lobby of the top business houses. I have not yet understood.

    No one knows what political pattern is in vogue in the largest democracy(?) on this planet. This country got independence 60+ years back and still it is A proud developing country boasting to become a superpower soon.

    People of this country got big surprises in the way many times the head of union governments were selected. The selection of the president of this country is also discussed on the table of coffee many times.

    We just cant believe how the largest democratic (?) population managed to pull on their lives with the outdated designed cars like Ambassador and Premiere for many decades and turned into the hub of the biggest car-marketing arena in the world within a couple of years.

    Although the nomenclature of the structure is federal but it does not meet the requirements of a federal form of government. The history behind the demand for more powers for the states may be traced to the early years after independence. The founding fathers based on the objective situation prevailing then foresaw the need for some kind of bias in favour of the Union Government to deal with the divisive and separatists trends and tendencies arising out of the partition. But now there has been a sea change in the objective reality. In fact a commission too was appointed which is known as Sarkaria Commission and it gave its recommendation and why the government is dragging its feet in implementing the recommendations is beyond our comprehension.

    has aptly referred to Sarkaria Commission whose recommendations have not been accepted. The aim should be to evolve a system that is economically efficient and ensures justice to all regions. India being a very large country, unitary type of organization will not serve the purpose. I tink that the country be divided in optimum sized states- neither too small nor too big- for good governance. More powers should be given to states. The centre should hold only defence, foreign affairs and currency management. Presently, new states are formed only when there is an agitation. This is very disruptive. The reorganization should be on some rational basis after cool considerations of all connected issues.

    You are abosolute correct in your perception.Only the economic and administrative viability and accountability should be the principal guiding factors! The cacophonous calls for division on language,caste and other superfluous grounds are devoid of all merits.
