 States and territories of India, numbered as per the table

text: Naming[edit]

text: The majority of districts are named after their administrative centre. Some are referred to by two names, a traditional one and one that uses the name of the town that is the headquarters.  Since most of the districts are named after a town, the word "district" is appended to distinguish between the town and the district.  Official websites very often use District with a capital D in this context.

text: Ambiguous names[edit]

text: The names of the 687 districts are mostly unique. There are some exceptions:

text:
Within India 7 district names are ambiguous, representing 14 districts:
Aurangabad district, Bihar & Aurangabad district, Maharashtra
Balrampur district, Chhattisgarh & Balrampur district, Uttar Pradesh.
Bijapur district, Chhattisgarh & Bijapur district, Karnataka
Bilaspur district, Chhattisgarh & Bilaspur district, Himachal Pradesh
Hamirpur district, Himachal Pradesh & Hamirpur district, Uttar Pradesh
Lakhimpur district, Assam & Lakhimpur Kheri district, Uttar Pradesh
Pratapgarh district, Rajasthan & Pratapgarh district, Uttar Pradesh
Outside of India, but within South Asia, there are 7 districts:
Bhojpur district, Bihar shares a name with Bhojpur District, Nepal
Daman district, India shares a name with Daman District, Afghanistan
Ghaziabad District, Uttar Pradesh shares a name with Ghaziabad District, Afghanistan
Gopalganj district, Bihar shares a name with Gopalganj District, Bangladesh
Hyderabad district, Telangana shares a name with Hyderabad District, Pakistan
Lalitpur district, Uttar Pradesh shares a name with Lalitpur District, Nepal
Poonch district, Jammu and Kashmir, shares a name with Poonch District, Pakistan (the two were, prior to Partition, one district – which got split by the Line of Control, so since then the two parts have been administered separately)
Outside of South Asia entirely, there are 2 districts:
Mansa district, Punjab, with Mansa District, Zambia
Dhar District, Madhya Pradesh, with Dhar District, Yemen.

text: 1893 Parliament[edit]

text: In 1893, the city of Chicago hosted the World Columbian Exposition, an early world's fair. So many people were coming to Chicago from all over the world that many smaller conferences, called Congresses and Parliaments, were scheduled to take advantage of this unprecedented gathering. One of these was the World's Parliament of Religions, an initiative of the Swedenborgian layman (and judge) Charles Carroll Bonney.[5][6] The Parliament of Religions was by far the largest of the congresses held in conjunction with the Exposition.[7] John Henry Barrows, a clergyman, was appointed as the first chairman of the General Committee of the 1893 Parliament by Charles Bonney.[8]

text: The Parliament of Religions opened on 11 September 1893 at the World's Congress Auxiliary Building which is now The Art Institute of Chicago, and ran from 11 to 27 September, marking it the first organized interfaith gathering.[9] Today it is recognized as the occasion of the birth of formal interreligious dialogue worldwide, with representatives of a wide variety of religions and new religious movements, including:

text:
The Jain preacher Virchand Gandhi was invited as a representative of Jainism.[10]
The Buddhist preacher Anagarika Dharmapala was invited as a representative of "Southern Buddhism," the term applied at that time to the Theravada.[citation needed]
Soyen Shaku, the "First American Ancestor" of Zen, made the trip.[11]
An essay by the Japanese Pure Land master Kiyozawa Manshi, "Skeleton of the philosophy of religion" was read in his absence.
Swami Vivekananda represented Hinduism as a delegate, introducing Hinduism at the opening session of the Parliament on 11 September.[12] Though initially nervous, he bowed to Saraswati, then began his speech with salutation, "Sisters and brothers of America!". To these words he got a standing ovation from a crowd of seven thousand, which lasted for two minutes. When silence was restored he began his address. He greeted the youngest of the nations on behalf of "the most ancient order of monks in the world, the Vedic order of sannyasins, a religion which has taught the world both tolerance and universal acceptance.!"
Islam was represented by Mohammed Alexander Russell Webb, an Anglo-American convert to Islam and the former US ambassador to Philippine.
Rev. Henry Jessup addressing the World Parliament of Religions was the first to publicly discuss the Bahá'í Faith in the United States (it had previously been known in Europe.)[13] Since then Bahá'ís have become active participants.[14]
Theism or the Brahmo Samaj was represented by Pratap Chandra Majumdar
New religious movements of the time, such as Spiritualism and Christian Science. The latter was represented by Septimus J. Hanna, who read an address written by its founder Mary Baker Eddy.[15]

text: Absent from this event were Native American religious figures, Sikhs and other Indigenous and Earth centered religionists; it would not be until the 1993 Parliament that these religions and spiritual traditions would be represented.

text: From March to May 1930, Kyoto, Japan hosted a Great Religious Exposition (宗教大博覧会, Shūkyō Dai-hakurankai). Religious groups from across Japan and China exhibited at the fair.[16] All of Japan's traditional Buddhist sects had an exhibit, as well as Christianity.[17]

 opening Ceremony 1993

text: In 1993, the Parliament convened at the Palmer House hotel in Chicago. Over 8,000 people from all over the world, from many diverse religions, gathered to celebrate, discuss and explore how religious traditions can work together on the critical issues which confront the world. A document, "Towards a Global Ethic: An Initial Declaration", mainly drafted by Hans Küng, set the tone for the subsequent ten days of discussion. This global ethic was endorsed by many of the attending religious and spiritual leaders who were part of the parliament assembly.

text: Also created for the 1993 parliament was a book, A Sourcebook for the Community of Religions, by the late Joel Beversluis, which has become a standard textbook in religion classes. Unlike most textbooks of religion, each entry was written by members of the religion in question.

text: The keynote address was given by the Dalai Lama on the closing day of the assembly. Cardinal Joseph Bernardin also participated.

text: 1999 Parliament[edit]

text: More than 7,000 individuals from over 80 countries attended 1999 Parliament in Cape Town, South Africa. The Parliament began with a showing of the international AIDS Memorial Quilt to highlight the epidemic of AIDS in South Africa, and of the role that religious and spiritual traditions play in facing the critical issues that face the world. The event continued with hundreds of panels, symposia and workshops, offerings of prayer and meditation, plenaries and performances. The programs emphasized issues of religious, spiritual, and cultural identity, approaches to interreligious dialogue, and the role of religion in response to the critical issues facing the world today.

text: The Parliament Assembly considered a document called A Call to Our Guiding Institutions, addressed to religion, government, business, education, and media inviting these institutions to reflect on and transform their roles at the threshold of the next century.

text: In addition to the Call, the Parliament staff had created a book, Gifts of Service to the World, showcasing over 300 projects considered to be making a difference in the world. The Assembly members also deliberated about Gifts of Service which they could offer or could pledge to support among those projects gathered in the Gifts document.

Having created the declaration Towards a Global Ethic [19] at the 1993 Parliament and attempted to engage guiding institutions at the 1999 Parliament, the 2004 Parliament concentrated on four pressing issues: mitigating religiously motivated violence, access to safe water, the fate of refugees worldwide, and the elimination of external debt in developing countries. Those attending were asked to make a commitment to a "simple and profound act" to work on one of these issues.

text: The Council for a Parliament of the World's Religions suggested that the Melbourne parliament would "educate participants for global peace and justice" through exploring religious conflict and globalization, creating community and cross-cultural networks and addressing issues of religious violence. It supported "strengthening religious and spiritual communities" by providing a special focus on indigenous and Aboriginal spiritualities; facilitating cooperation between Pagan, Jewish, Christian, Bahá'í, Jain, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh and Hindu communities; crafting new responses to religious extremism and confronting homegrown terrorism and violence.[22]

text: Two music videos were created for the single. The first was a surreal video that Osbourne did not like because he felt the video did not match the song. He then created a second music video with Samuel Bayer, which was more to his liking. Osbourne compared the effects in the second video to the hazy smoke effect seen in the video for Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", which was also directed by Bayer.

document_title: Federalism in India

question_text: the legislating affairs in the india constitution have been enlisted into

text: Federalism in India

text: Legislative powers[edit]

text: The power of the states and the Centre are defined by the constitution and the legislative powers are divided into three lists:[3]

text: Union List[edit]

text: Union List consists of 100 items (previously 97 items) on which the parliament has exclusive power to legislate including: defence, armed forces, arms and ammunition, atomic energy, foreign affairs, war and peace, citizenship, extradition, railways, shipping and navigation, airways, posts and telegraphs, telephones, wireless and broadcasting, currency, foreign trade, inter-state trade and commerce, banking, insurance, control of industries, regulation and development of mines, mineral and oil resources, elections, audit of Government accounts, constitution and organisation of the Supreme Court, High Courts and union public service commission, income tax, custom duties and export duties, duties of excise, corporation tax, taxes on capital value of assets, estate duty, terminal taxes.[4][1]

text: State List[edit]

text: State List consists of 61 items (previously 66 items). Uniformity is desirable but not essential on items in this list: maintaining law and order, police forces, healthcare, transport, land policies, electricity in the state, village administration, etc. The state legislature has exclusive power to make laws on these subjects. But in certain circumstances, the parliament can also make laws on subjects mentioned in the State List, then the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) has to pass a resolution with a two-thirds majority that it is expedient to legislate on this state list in the national interest.[1]

text: Though states have exclusive powers to legislate with regards to items on the State List, articles 249, 250, 252, and 253 state situations in which the Union government can legislate on these items.[4]

text: Concurrent List[edit]

text: Concurrent List consists of 52 (earlier 47) items. Uniformity is desirable but not essential on items in this list: Marriage and divorce, transfer of property other than agricultural land, education, contracts, bankruptcy and insolvency, trustees and trusts, civil procedure, contempt of court, adulteration of foodstuffs, drugs and poisons, economic and social planning, trade unions, labour welfare, electricity, newspapers, books and printing press, stamp duties.[4][1]

text: Residuary Subjects[edit]

text: The subjects that are not mentioned in any of the three lists are known as residuary subjects. However, there are many provisions made in the constitution outside these lists permitting parliament or state legislative assembly to legislate. Excluding the provisions of the constitution outside these lists per Article 245, the power to legislate on residuary subjects (not mentioned anywhere in the constitution), rests with the parliament exclusively per Article 248.[5] Parliament shall legislate on residuary subjects following the procedure per Article 368 as constitutional amendments.

text: In case the above lists are to be expanded or amended, the legislation should be done by the Parliament under its constituent power per Article 368 with ratification by the majority of the states. Federalism is part of the basic structure of the Indian constitution which cannot be altered or destroyed through constitutional amendments under the constituent powers of the Parliament without undergoing judicial review by the Supreme Court.

text: Executive powers[edit]

text: The Union and states have independent executive staffs fully controlled by their respective governments and executive power of the states and the Centre are extended on issues they are empowered to legislate. As in legislative matters, in administrative matters also, the Central government can not overrule the constitutional rights/powers of a state government except when president rule is promulgated in a state. It is the duty of the Union to ensure that the government of every State is carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution as per Article 355. Article 256 of the Constitution has made it clear that the State governments cannot go against the Central laws in administrative matters. When a State has failed to work according to the Constitution, President’s rule is imposed under Article 356 and President takes over its (the State’s) administration with post facto consent of the Parliament per Article 357.

text: Financial powers[edit]

text: Article 282 accords financial autonomy in spending the financial resources available to the states for public purpose.[1][6] Article 293 gives liberty to states to borrow without any limit to its ability for its requirements within the territory of India without any consent from the Union government. However, the Union government can insist for compliance of its loan terms when a state has outstanding loan charged to the consolidated fund of India or an outstanding loan in respect of which a guarantee has been given by the Government of India under the liability of consolidated fund of India.[7]

text: President constitutes a Finance Commission after every five years to recommend the modality for devolving Union government revenues between central and state governments.

text: Under Article 360 of the constitution, President can proclaim a financial emergency when the financial stability or credit of the nation or of any part of its territory is threatened. However, until now no guidelines defining the situation of financial emergency in the entire country or a state or a union territory or a panchayat or a municipality or a corporation have been framed either by the finance commission or by the Central government.

text: Such an emergency must be approved by the Parliament within two months by a simple majority. It has never been declared. A state of financial emergency remains in force indefinitely until revoked by the President. The President can reduce the salaries of all government officials, including judges of the supreme court and high courts, in cases of a financial emergency. All money bills passed by the State legislatures are submitted to the President for approval. He can direct the state to observe certain principles (economy measures) relating to financial matters.

text: Disputes with Union/other states[edit]

text: States can make agreements between themselves without violating applicable laws in respective states. When a dispute arises with another state or group of states or Union Territory or central government, Supreme Court shall adjudicate in such disputes per Article 141 of the constitution. However, article 262 excludes Supreme Court jurisdiction with respect to adjudication of any dispute in the use, distribution or control of the interstate river waters per Article 262.

text: Under Article 263, President can also establish an interstate council for serving the public interest to coordinate/resolve the disputes between states and the Union and for better implementation of policies.

text: Territories of India[edit]

text: Article 1 (1) of the Indian constitution says that India (Bharat) shall be Union of States which are elaborated under Parts V (The Union) and VI (The States) of the constitution. Article 1 (3) says territories of India constitute territories of states, union territories and other acquired territories. The concept of union territory was not there from the beginning of the constitution and it was incorporated by the Constitution (Seventh Amendment) Act, 1956.[8] In the constitution wherever it refers to Territories of India, it is applicable to the whole country including union territories. Where it refers to only India, it is applicable to all states only but not to union territories. Thus, union public service commission role is not applicable to the union territories as it refers to India only in the Part XIV.

text: Jammu and Kashmir state[edit]

text: The state of Jammu and Kashmir has a separate set of applicable laws under Article 370 read with Appendix I & II {The Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 1954} of the Indian constitution. Only matters related to defence, foreign relations and communications of Jammu and Kashmir are under the jurisdiction of Union government. The laws enacted by the parliament (including amendments to the Indian constitution) applicable to rest of India are not valid in J&K state unless ratified by its state assembly.[9] The Government of India can declare a state of emergency in Jammu and Kashmir and impose governor's rule in certain conditions. The state has its own constitution other than applicable Indian constitution.[10] Part XII of the J&K state constitution makes provision to amend its constitution with two-thirds majority by the state assembly. Part VI (The states) and Part XIV (Services) of the Indian constitution is not applicable to J&K state per Article 152 and Article 308.

text: Criticism and issues[edit]

text: The Government of India Act 1935 aimed to establish India as a Federation of States. It emphasized division of powers, independent and apolitical Governors and Governors-General and introduced provincial autonomy for the first time in India. On 26 January 1950, India adopted a new constitution.

text: The unitary bias of the constitution

text: Article 1 (1) of the constitution says India shall be a union of states and its citizens shall have at least two tier governance. So the people of a UT have every right to opt for statehood in India. However, the amended (in 1956) Article 3, allows the union government power with prior consent of the President (common head of states and union governments) to (a) form a new state/UT by separating a territory of any state, or by uniting two or more states/UTs or parts of states/UTs, or by uniting any territory to a part of any state/UT. (b) the power to establish new states/UT (which were not previously under India's territory) which were not in existence before.

text: Appointment and role of governors

text: The appointment of Governor of States in India is vested with the President but only on the advice of the Union Government. The governors of states are generally not residents of the state.

text: In the case of a breakdown of constitutional machinery in a state, Article 356 brings about state emergency which dissolves the state government and results in President's rule during which the Union Government can make laws for a state. There is no emergency at the centre which can dissolve the Union government unlike Government of India Act 1935. Misuse of Article 356 was rampant in the decades following the adoption of the new constitution especially during the prime ministry of Indira Gandhi.[11][12][13][14] In 1991, Supreme court passed a landmark judgement which acknowledged misuse of the article and laid down principles for the Union government to follow before the state emergency can be invoked.

text: The Lieutenant Governors of Union Territories of India are designed as administrators and are once again appointed by the President on the advice of the Union government. These Lieutenant Governors can override policies made by the local government.[15]

text: Economic federalism

text: States are at liberty to manage their finances as long it is not leading to financial emergency per Article 360. Instead, the Government of India is trying to impose uniform taxation laws throughout India and trying to take over of tax collection mechanism of states without regards for the positive and negative inherent aspects of each state which are to be addressed by each state from time to time.[16][17] Recently Supreme court upheld the constitutional right of states to impose Entry Tax which is against the principle of GST.[18]

text: Control of industries, which was a subject in the concurrent list in the 1935 act, was transferred to the Union List. The Union government in 1952 introduced the repulsive Freight equalisation policy which resulted in the resource drain and backwardness of a number of Indian states. The sufferers of this policy were the states of West Bengal, Bihar (including present-day Jharkhand), Madhya Pradesh (including present-day Chhattisgarh) and Orissa. These states lost their competitive advantage of holding the minerals, as the factories could now be set up anywhere in India. This was not the case in the pre-independence era when the major business houses like the Tatas and the Dalmias set up industries in these states, and most of the engineering industry was located in the state of West Bengal. Even after the removal of the policy in the early 1990s, these states could not catch up with the more industrialised states. In 1996, the Commerce & Industry Minister of West Bengal complained that "the removal of the freight equalisation and licensing policies cannot compensate for the ill that has already been done".[19]

text: GoI laws permit a private/public limited company to raise loans internally and externally to its capacity based on its performance/repayment reputation. Whereas states are unconstitutionally limited by the GoI to limit the borrowings when they have not defaulted/led to a financial emergency. The employees' salary and pension expenditure of many state governments are exceeding their total revenue, but no financial emergency by the President is imposed to restrict the expenditure for enhancing the productivity of the government employees. Article 47 of Directive Principles of the state policy stipulates prohibition of intoxicating drinks which are injurious to health but it is not imposed even after the constitution is adopted 65 years ago. In contrary, many states promote liquor sales exponentially and collect a major chunk of their tax revenues from liquor sales for meeting expenditure on developmental works.[citation needed]

text: The political economy issues

text: GoI is devolving central funds to the states under specifically identified schemes (like NREGA, etc.) whose implementation by the states is subject to the satisfaction of the GoI which is highly controversial and against Article 282.[6] The controversy arises from the fact that the grants for centrally sponsored schemes and central plan schemes are under complete control and discretion of the ruling party. The ruling party does not use it to help the states in need or where poor people are concentrated, but to pursue its own partisan and political goals.[20][21] This distributive tendency of the ruling party is known as pork-barrel politics.[22] The nomenclature of schemes is specifically designed to convey that the central government is the source of these progressive policies. This is done to prevent leakage of benefit to state governments.
