FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WITH UNITARY BIAS
The elements of federation are present in the Indian Constitution. It is a written and rigid constitution. There is dual polity and there is constitutional division of powers between the centre and the states. There is also an independent judiciary. The Supreme Court arbitrates the disputes between the centre and the states.
In Indian Federation, the centre is strong as compared to the slates. The centre has more financial powers and the states largely depend upon it for their economic development.
