Explanation
The nature of Indian federalism has been described by various scholars based on its unique centralising and cooperative features:
- Cooperative Federalism: Granville Austin described the Indian Constitution as cooperative federalism, emphasizing that it creates a system where the Union and States are interdependent and work together.
- Bargaining Federalism: Morris-Jones termed it bargaining federalism, referring to the pattern of political negotiations and adjustments between the Centre and the States.
- Quasi Federalism: K.C. Wheare famously described India as a "quasi-federal" state, suggesting it is a unitary state with subsidiary federal features rather than a truly federal state.
- Federalism with Centralising Tendency: Sir Ivor Jennings characterized the Indian system as a federation with a strong centralising tendency, given the extensive powers of the Union government over the States.
