Indian federalism's 'coming together' or 'holding together' model is best described as:
AComing together (like USA)
BHolding together (like Spain or India)
CConfederation (like EU)
DUnitary (like UK)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Holding together (like Spain or India)
1. 'COMING TOGETHER' federations are formed by independent states joining together (USA, Switzerland) — usually with equal power.
2. 'HOLDING TOGETHER' federations have a large country dividing power between its regions — India, Spain, Belgium.
3. India's centre is stronger and not all states share the same powers (J&K had special status; some states had specific schedules).
