Federal Systems
A federal government is a
system that divides up power between a strong national government and
smaller local governments.[1]
The Constitution of India establishes
a federal structure to the Indian government,
declaring it to be a "Union of States". Part XI of the Indian constitution
specifies the distribution of legislative, administrative and executive powers
between the Central government and the States of India.[2]
When India became independent, it has adopted
federal system and accordingly the constitution is framed and powers are
distributed among central and state governments. This is to protect the
interest of regions and the unitedness of the nation. It was beautifully
drafted that, it gives a very clear demarcation of states and centre. This
federalism has not only stopped to these two, to strengthen democracy it is
further extended to districts, talukas, and to panchayat level. The powers of
these so clearly defined that there is no confusion and it is very successful.
Now I am my own view real federalism of India
is upcoming now. Since, independence Congress ruled this country till almost
1990, or any other party which is central level. These parties could not give
the justice to the states, since most of the time central and state government
use to be same. Because of this regional interests were neglected and this lead
to rise regional parties, such as TDP, DMK, AIDMK, Shivsena. TMC, Akalidal,
Jantadal, LJP, Biju Janatadal. After many years of federal system, the people
of India are executing their powers and electing local parties for the states
and different govt. for the centre. But, the parties in the centre are using
their powers to curtail the powers of local governments, this is what not
expected. Central govt. is not big brother and states are not small brother.
Whereas now a days, the parties in the central and state are of the same
parties, because of this central govt. is using its monopoly ideology on the
states as well, this is not good thing for this federal system.
In my view there should be altogether different
parties at central and ther should different parties at the states. The parties
of the central should not contest for the state and the local parties should
contest in state level. Because of this, the party at the centre should take
real consensus from the states. This
will protect the interest of the regions, languages and culture.
This is very much required to protect our
culture, practices and languages. Other wise in the name one nation one
religion, one nation one language and one nation one culture, this type of
thinking will lead dictatorship and will lead to spilt in societies, religions
and states. As we are seen in UP, Bihar, MP and Andhra in to further division.
This has become so because, the leaders of one region neglected/dictated the
other regions against their needs and interests, this negligence lead to many
states and many parties.
