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 countries like India where the people belong to different races and religions, with their own customs and languages, Federation seems to be the only plan to keep them united and save India from separatist forces fighting for fragmentation and provincialism of the country.
