Abstract
Federalism is still the most viable system, as it was in the past centuries,
because other systems seem to be unable to meet new challenges effectively. While the
challenges often do have linkage with the past, many emerge from the fictions in
Centre-State or state-group relations. True, mere form of classical federalism can hardly
meet the challenges without suitable constitutional mechanisms founded upon federal
principles. The problems are an indication that the nature of federal society or diversity
in society has not yet been nullified by modern transformation. This reminds us of the
validity of federalism, which gives sense of solidarity in a federal society. Today
federalism is regarded a text of modern polity and civic community. The framers of
Indian constitution have given more powers to the centers and any state has no right to
disturb the federal structure of the constitution. The present research paper highlights
the key aspects of Indian federalism.
