Governing an Indian state Karnataka in focus - New Delhi Siya Publishing House 2019 - HB

Description :
The primary purpose of this book is to focus attention on how states in India are governed,with particular reference to Karnataka. In a vast and diverse country such as ours,each state is unique,with its own language,culture and tradition and level of economic development,and needs to be studied individually. We can not of course,lose sight of the fact that a single constitutional writ runs throughout the country and several features of the political and administrative systems are common across states. The Indian constitution is a blend of federal and unitary features and reconciling these two has been a continuing challenge since independence. The Constituent Assembly debated the issue of federalism at length and arrived at a division of powers between the centre and the states on the one hand and between the three organs of government-the legislature,the executive and the judiciary,on the other. There is,however, a gap between policy and practice,law and implementation. Capturing this dichotomy and looking at how things work on ground constitutes the core of this book.
