Question
India is a integral and indivisible federation.
✓
Answer
A federal system of government is a system in which several states form a unity but remain independent in internal affairs.
India is a Union of states. The word ‘Federal’ is actually not present anywhere in our Constitution. Thus, India calls itself ‘Union of States’.
India is a Union of States and no states have right to separate itself from the union. This means that the states of India are not divisible or separable from the country India.
Although, India is a Union of States, yet it has some elements of federal government too. For example, in Indian federation, there are two sets of governments – the Union Government and the States Governments.
Every state and union territory has their own will to accept a policy or not. Hence, India is also called a country with integral and indivisible federal structure.
