In the contemporary world, Federalism as a political idea has become increasingly important as a way of peacefully reconciling unity and diversity within political systems. Federalism has grown in importance, in part because modern developments in transportation, social communications, technology, industrial organization, globalization and knowledge-based societies have all contributed to simultaneous needs for both larger and smaller political units.

By combining elements of shared rule in larger units and self-rule in smaller regional units, federal political systems provide the closest institutional approximation to the complex multicultural and multidimensional economic, social and political reality of the contemporary world.

Among federations, the magnitude of India`s diversity and its achievement of an encompassing unity stand out, although partition into the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan, along with some population exchanges, were required at the time of independence in 1947, and certain intergroup conflicts have persisted since independence. There are more linguistic variations in India than in any other federation on the globe. Also there is an enormous range of other forms of diversity. Four of the world`s major religions”Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism”originated on the Indian subcontinent, and Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in India long ago.
