    While India's constitution contains some typical federal features like a dual system of government and separation of powers, it also exhibits strong unitary tendencies. The central government holds significant power over state governments, including the ability to change state boundaries, control over state list items, and appointment of state governors. Additionally, India has a single citizenship and unified judicial system, rather than the dual citizenship and separate court systems usually seen in federal systems. Overall, India's system is considered a quasi-federation as it contains elements of both federalism and unitary governance.
