#BookLounge: India – A Federal Union of States
We are pleased to invite you to participate in our latest BookLounge session, in which Nitin Pai will be in conversation with Madhav Godbole on the latter’s new Book, India- A Federal Union of States.
Date and Time: August 13, 6 PM IST.
About the book:
INDIA – A FEDERAL UNION OF STATES takes a comprehensive look at how successful India has been in working its unique model of federalism. In the 70 years since the adoption of the Constitution, the country has transitioned into a multi-party democracy with a greatly polarised polity. Some fault lines are now evident and ways have to be found for strengthening cooperative federalism. This book analyses these complex issues from a policy perspective. The future of India’s federalism will depend on their resolution.
