Constitution provides for division of powers between centre and the states. In reality, however, much depends on the ruling parties at the centre and the states. There have been different situations in centre-state relations as given below:
(l) In the beginning, the Central Government and the State Governments were controlled by one political party i.e., Congress. The Central Government dominated over the State government.
(ii) After 1967 when some opposition or different political parties came to power in the
States, the relations between centre and the states changed. The Central Government misused the powers under Article 356 of the Constitution and dismissed the governments led by the rival parties. This was against the spirit of federalism.
(iii) After 1990, coalition government was formed at the centre. Regional parties became powerful in the states. Since no single party was able to secure majority, different parties formed alliance such as NDA and UPA. Under such arrangement, culture of power sharing and respect for autonomy of state governments spread in India. The Supreme Court too made it difficult for the Central Government to dismiss the State Governments in an arbitrary manner. Thus, federal structure has been strengthened by the coming of coalition governments and Centre-State relations in the present situation.
(a) Linguistic diversity of India is as mentioned below: (l) The Census of India (1991) recorded 1500 distinct languages. (ii) After grouping there were 114 major languages. (iii) Only 22 languages have been included in the 8th schedule of the Indian constitution. These are called 'Scheduled LanguagRead more

(l) The Census of India (1991) recorded 1500 distinct languages.
(ii) After grouping there were 114 major languages.
(iii) Only 22 languages have been included in the 8th schedule of the Indian constitution. These are called ‘Scheduled Languages’. Others are called ‘non-scheduled’ languages. A candidate in an examination conducted for the Central Government services may opt to take the examination in any of the Scheduled languages.
(iv) States too have their official languages. The government work generally takes place in the official language of the concerned state.
(v) Hindi, is mother-tongue of only about 40 per cent Indians and English of 0.02 per cent Indians.
(b) Language Policy: The Constitution of India did not give the status of national language to any one language. According to constitution, the use of English for official purposes was to stop in 1965’ However, many non-Hindi speaking states demanded to continue the use of English, particularly in Tamil Nadu. The leaders adopted a cautious approach to avoid a Sri Lanka type situation. It was, therefore, decided that English would continue along with Hindi for official purposes. Official Language Act provides that English would remain the official language of the country so long as non-Hindi speaking States desire. Thus, this approach has helped in avoiding confrontation with non-Hindi speaking southern states particularly Tamil Nadu. It has also strengthened the spirit of federalism.
