Indian federalism is the product of an evolutionary process that transformed a highly centralized political system into a decentralized system in which constituent entities – the so-called „states“ – enjoy autonomy in a specific area defined by the constitution. The process lasted nearly eight decades from 1861 during the second half of British rule. It gave the system a federal form under the Government of India Act 1935 / which had its own peculiarities and much of it was retained in the republican constitution drafted by the Constituent Assembly of India in 1946-49. It is therefore necessary to dwell briefly on the history of decentralization and the formation of the federal system at the time of British rule if one is to understand the essence of Indian federalism. It was a political system whose power was entirely focused on the central government that existed in India in 1861 when the first steps towards decentralization were taken. Centralization began as early as 1773, when the Governor-General of Bengal was given certain powers of control over the governments of the Madras and Bombay Presidencies, which had hitherto been independent from them.
