Majority of people from the States of north India-Rajasthan, Madhya, Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar speak Hindi. If all these states are combined to form one state, would it be in tune with the idea of federalism? Give arguments.
No, it does not seem to be in tune with the idea of federalism, because it would not be in such a position that it would be called federation. As we know the federation has many characteristics, unity in diversity. Or we can say that federalism is an institutional mechanism to accommodate two sets of - politics one at the regional level and the other at the national level.
If all the Hindi speaking regions or the northern states–Rajasthan, Gujarat, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh etc. are combined then there would be only a single unit or the new state would be unitary and not a federation.
