Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
Addresses coordination among states to foster national unity and smooth governance. Mechanisms include Inter-State Councils for policy dialogue, zonal councils, and tribunals like the Interstate River Water Disputes Tribunals for resolving resource conflicts (e.g., Cauvery dispute). States sign bilateral or multilateral agreements for transportation, economic growth, or cultural exchange. The Constitution encourages “comity of states,” minimizing parochial conflicts. However, differences arise over boundary disputes or resource allocation. Structures like the North Eastern Council help balance regional interests. Understanding inter-state relations reveals how India’s federalism transcends individual state boundaries to function cohesively as one nation.
