Civics

Policies and politics that strengthen federalism in practice

In this Class 10 Civics topic from the chapter Federalism, students learn how federalism becomes effective through both constitutional arrangements and political practice. They examine the creation of linguistic states, India’s language policy, improved Centre–State relations, and the rise of coalition governments. The topic also explains how decentralisation and local self-government deepen democratic participation, share power across levels, and help diverse communities work within one national framework.
