India is a federation with a parliamentary system governed under the Constitution of India—the country's supreme legal document. It is a constitutional republic.
Federalism in India defines the power distribution between the union and the states. The Constitution of India, which came into effect on 26 January 1950,^[243] originally stated India to be a "sovereign, democratic republic;" this characterisation was amended in 1971 to "a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic".^[244] India's form of government, traditionally described as "quasi-federal" with a strong centre and weak states,^[245] has grown increasingly federal since the late 1990s as a result of political, economic, and social changes.^[246][247]
