When and how does the federation come into existence?

Answer

According to Hamilton, 'Federation is an association of States that form a new one.' Indian federation has not come into existence by the union of independent states. The federation in India has come into existence by the integration of independent princely states into the British provinces. According to Prof. Garner, 'Federal government is a system in which the totality of governmental powers is divided and distributed by the national Constitution or the organic act of Parliament creating it, between Central Government and the government of the individual states or other territorial sub-divisions of which the federation is composed.
