Federalism 

  • Federalism is a system of government in which the power is divided between a central authority and various constituent units of the country.

  • The United States of America is the country where the federal government was first established

  • India is a land of continental proportions and immense diversities. There are more than 20 major languages and several hundred minor ones. It is the home of several major religions. There are several million indigenous peoples living in different parts of the country

  • In spite of all these diversities we share a common land mass.

  • We have also participated in a common history, especially, when we fought for independence.

  • We also share many other important features. This has led our national leaders to visualize India as a country where there is unity in diversity. Sometimes it is described as unity with diversity

Key ideas and concepts
