Write any four features of indian …

Indian Constitution, in spite of its federal form, exhibits a unitary bias. Some of the unitary features are:

1. Parliament has a wide scope of the legislation. It can legislate on subjects given under the State List, if the Rajya Sabha declares a resolution supported by a 2/3rd majority, or when a proclamation of emergency is in operation. On subjects given in the Concurrent List, the Parliamentary law is upheld in case of conflict between state law and Parliamentary law. Parliament also has the powers to legislate on Residuary Subjects.
2. Parliament can alter the boundaries of the states.
3. Overwhelming financial powers are vested with the Central Government and the states are dependent upon central grants.
4. In an emergency, the federal structure may be converted into a unitary one.
