What to Focus On

  • Federal comes from Latin 'Foedus' meaning 'treaty'.
  • Federalism involves a dual government—Centre and States.
  • India’s federalism balances unity and diversity.
  • Supremacy of the Constitution ensures all function under it.
  • Written and rigid Constitution prevents easy changes.
  • Division of powers through Union, State, and Concurrent Lists.
  • Seventh Schedule has three lists: Union, State, Concurrent.
  • Residuary powers with Parliament.
  • Independent judiciary resolves Centre-State disputes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The Indian Constitution is not truly federal because it has a strong Centre.

Federalism means states are completely independent of the Centre.

Dual citizenship is a necessary feature of federalism, so India is not federal.
