Which of these is not a feature of Indian federalism?
निम्नलिखित में से कौन – सा भारतीय संघवाद की विशेषता नहीं है?
Detailed Solution & Logic
Dual citizenship / दौहरी नागरिकता
🟢 Explanation
Indian federalism is characterized by:
-
Independent judiciary – The Supreme Court and High Courts act as guardians of the Constitution.
-
Written constitution – India has a detailed written Constitution that defines the powers of the Union and States.
-
Division of powers – Clearly demarcated between Union and State governments (Union List, State List, Concurrent List).
Dual citizenship, however, is not allowed in India. Indian citizens can only hold Indian citizenship, unlike countries such as the USA or Canada.
So, dual citizenship is not a feature of Indian federalism.
🟢 व्याख्या
भारतीय संघवाद (Indian federalism) की मुख्य विशेषताएँ हैं:
-
स्वतंत्र न्यायपालिका – सुप्रीम कोर्ट और उच्च न्यायालय संविधान के रक्षक हैं।
-
लिखित संविधान – संघ और राज्यों के अधिकारों को स्पष्ट रूप से निर्धारित करता है।
-
शक्तियों का विभाजन – संघीय और राज्य सरकारों के बीच स्पष्ट विभाजन (संघ सूची, राज्य सूची, समवर्ती सूची)।
दौहरी नागरिकता (Dual citizenship) भारत में मान्य नहीं है। भारतीय नागरिक केवल भारतीय नागरिकता रख सकते हैं।
इसलिए, दौहरी नागरिकता भारतीय संघवाद की विशेषता नहीं है।
