State Division India
STATE DIVISIONS IN INDIA-my view

INDIA AS WE ALL KNOW GOT its awaiting independence in 1947.but is it fully true? Maybe not! Because India became free from foreign control completely in 1961, when the Portuguese left goa and some other adjoining regions in 1961 after military action.

FREEDOM from the major invader THE EAST INDIA COMPANY SAW INDIA IN A STRONG STATE TO BUILD A NEW NATION WHICH WOULD BE ECONOMICALLY TERMED AS A DEVELOPING NATION.but was it enough for india to get freedom?? 2 years from then saw major setback. India was partitioned for the first time in 1947 from Pakistan. It was a religion based partition. It gave a major setback to the economy and also politically. Mass destruction of property and life took place. But then the partition was based on some unexplained topics which is not my concern in this article. what I want to present gives the idea about what is the present day condition of this large country with even large population divided in very bigger regions which seems difficult to administrate as a whole.

Today in 2013….

India has 28 states. state has its own government some are under president control.

Some bigger states want to get separated from its counterpart based on linguistic division. Taking example of Andhra Pradesh. Being fourth largest in india based on land area and ranked 5th on basis of population. It has 42 seats in lok sabha.

These facts give a conclusion that it is a very important state to India in every ways.
Its on a verge of division.
I am not concerned with the reasons behind. I am not concerned even with political views behind this.

What I am concerned with is that some of the states in india are very big to administrate from a single table government likes of Andhra Pradesh, uttar Pradesh, rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, mahrashtra.
Dividing of the states on basis of religion or language sounds foul as it loosens the integrity of the nation and leads to political and regional unrest.

    The success of the Indian Independence movement is, by some scholars, largely attributed to efforts of Mahatma Gandhi. As stated by BBC, “Gandhi was the leader of the Indian nationalist movement against British rule, and is widely considered the father of his country” (India.wikia.com). However, this revolutionary movement, a dream that had been growing since the mid nineteenth century, was the infusion of a wide spectrum of Indian political organizations, philosophies, and rebellions. For example, the events and aftermath of the Second World War posed an economic crisis and political confrontation that transformed nationalism and colonialism for many colonies, including India. Even less credit is given to the various international events that shaped the movement, as well as those involved. Regardless of the divisions in Indian nationalist efforts, both in support and against violence, they all contained one common goal: independence from Britain. Were historians correct in their proposition that India’s independence was largely attributed to Gandhi’s peaceful anti-war efforts, or were Gandhi’s strategies ultimately ineffective? If proven effective, should India’s rapid progress in independence during World War II be seen as affected most by Gandhi, or were bigger actors involved? I believe that the source of India’s successes in their 100-year struggle for independence should not be correlated with one man. Rather, by paying close attention to key events, powerful political players, critical economic changes, and motivating political factors from around the globe during this period, historians will gain a better understanding of how India’s independence movement was rapidly accelerated, and ultimately successful, during the period surrounding World War II.…

    After 200 years of being control by an island thousands of mile away, it was time to break free. Circa 1500, England and other European countries began to colonize India. It is believed that the Independence Movement there began in the 1850’s, although India didn’t become a fully self-governing country until the 1940’s. This movement is an example of peaceful revolution, and in large part was led by activist Mohandas (Mahatma) Gandhi. Gandhi, born in 1869, led some the movement and was assassinated in 1948. India fought for many years for independence, but was able to win with the help of Gandhi, who influenced not only his country, but many others including other civil leaders as well.…

    In such a system certain powers of the central government are delegated to the state governments and jurisdiction of the government at each level is clearly defined by the constitution of the country. Separation of powers is done to prevent the over lapping of powers which may lead to any confusion, dispute or a conflict. In India these powers are separated in the form of three lists- union list, state list and the concurrent list. In such a system, the states or provinces are an integral part of the country but remain independent in their functioning and in any case are not subordinate to the central CBSE-i CLASS-X • POLITICAL SCIENCE UNIT-I • Power Sharing TEACHERS' MANUAL 19 government.…

    Federalism in India

    • 3262 Words
    • 14 Pages

    Federalism is a basic feature of the Constitution of India in which the Union of India is permanent and indestructible. Both the Centre and the States are co-operating and coordinating institutions having independence and ought to exercise their respective powers with mutual adjustment, respect, understanding and accommodation. Tension and conflict of the interests of the Centre and the respective units is an integral part of federalism. Prevention as well as amelioration of conflicts is necessary. Thus, the Indian federalism was devised with a strong Centre. Federalism with a strong Centre was inevitable as the framers of the Indian Constitution were aware that there were economic disparities as several areas of India were economically as well as industrially far behind in comparison to others. The nation was committed to a socio economic revolution not only to secure the basic needs of the common man and economic unity of the country but also to bring about a fundamental change in the structure of Indian society in accordance with the egalitarian principles. With these considerations in mind the Constitution makers devised the Indian federation with a strong Union.…
