Explanation:

has been the matter of debate among the scholars that whether the Constitution of India is completely federal or unitary in nature. But actually INDIAN constitution contains both features of a federal constitution and unitary constitution. But for the very clear picture of this conclusion first of all we have to know that what is the federal constitution and what is unitary constitution. What feature of Indian constitution makes it federal or what features makes it unitary.

In a federal set up there is a two tier of Government with well assigned powers and functions. The Central and the State governments work in coordination and at the same time act independently. The federal polity, in other WORDS, provides a constitutional device for bringing unity in diversity and for the achievement of common national goals.

Prevention as well as amelioration of conflict of the interests of the Centre and the States is an INTEGRAL part of FEDERALISM. This is the reason why the Indian federalism was DEVISED with a strong Centre. The Constitution of India has adopted federal features; though it does not, in fact, claim that it establishes a federation. The question whether the Indian Constitution could be called a federal constitution troubled the minds of the members of the Constituent Assembly. This question cannot be answered without going into the meaning of federalism and the essential features that are evident in federal state.
