Abstract
The fact is that the administrative relations between Union and state operate in a manner that Centre’s supremacy is more than visible. During emergencies the Indian federal arrangement can be suspended and squeezed into a unitary operation. But even during normal times the centre can descend upon the state through its powers of delegation, direction and grants in India. The provision of all India services, Inter-state councils and later State Commerce Commission establish Centre’s hegemony.
