Federalism

The term fed refers to the constitutionally allocated of powers between two or more level of
government in the Modern Nation-State system one at National level and other at state level.

USA got its Independence on 4th July 1776, declared itself as UNITED states of America because
there was agreement of forming together with several sovereign States like Texas, New Jersey,
Washington etc.

Thus USA follows TRUE FEDERALISM as it decided to form a large State with several sovereign states.

India in other hand is not true federalism.

India has division of powers in Union and State level.

India was very large State during British rule and they divided into several provinces for better
administration.

As per KC WHEREAS

" INDIA IS QUASI FEDERALISM"

It follows moral values of Federalism.

So, India is Quasi-Federal with Unitary tilt which is called Centralized Federalism.

Article 1- India that is Bharat shall be UNION of states.. which is Quasi-Federal.

Difference between Federalism, Quasi Federal and Confederation.

USA is Federalism where it is indestructible both at central and state level with a Agreement.
India is Quasi Federal where it is Indestructible at Central level but destructible in state level.

EU is Confederation where it is destructible at central but not at state.
