Name the three levels of government in a federal setup in India. Why is a federal setup important in India?
Answer
The three levels of government in a federal set up in India are-
- Central Government
- State Governments
- Panchayats and Municipalities
In a country like India, where people belong to different races and religions and have different customs and languages, a federal system helps keep the country united. It also helps protect India from separatist forces, fragmentation, and provincialism.
