| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The demand for regional autonomy has been a much debated issue in the Indian democracy for a long period of time. The question of to what extent regional units should be given freedom was discussed at length during Constituent Assembly debates as well .Article 1 of the Indian constitution declares "India that is Bharat shall be union of states". Indian union was established by incorporating basic features of both unitary and federal form of governments and thus, creating a federal form of government during peace time and converting it in to unitary one at the time of crisis. The success of Indian democracy has been a matter of great debate around the world and also a matter of great curiosity. |
