About Federalism

This quiz covers Chapter 2 of CBSE Class 10 Political Science (Democratic Politics II), Federalism.

It opens with what federalism is, and how it differs from a unitary system of government, including the key features that make power sharing durable.

It then covers how federalism works in India, including the Union List, State List, and Concurrent List, and India's "holding together" federation.

It moves on to how federalism is actually practiced, including the creation of linguistic states and India's language policy.

It covers the restructuring of centre-state relations, from the era of one-party dominance to the rise of regional parties and coalition governments.

It closes with decentralisation in India, including the 1992 constitutional amendments that empowered panchayats and municipalities.

Every question comes with a clear, simple explanation, so incorrect answers become as instructive as correct ones, whether you are revising for a school test or a board exam.
