About the seminar: Federalism in India: Prospects & Pitfalls
The Indian federal system has become transformed in the last seven decades—from being dismissed as a full-fledged federal system to a widely acclaimed federal system in the world. Simply put, Indian federalism has become more meaningful and functional post-liberalization. It goes without saying that India’s command economy, in fact, a mixed economy model has led to widespread corruption and inefficiency in the government. It has also affected Centre–state relations with the principles of federalism often being held hostage by the Centre. From a subordinate position until the late 1980s, states rose to occupy a strategic position in India’s move from a command economy to a market economy. No wonder, therefore, the Centre became more interested in involving states in even forbidden area such as foreign policy matters. States are not only competing but also learning from each other. Judiciary in India has also played some important role in curtailing the power of the central government. Judicial acceptance of federalism as
basic structure of the Constitution has had significant implications on Centre–state relations in India.
