Which one of the following is not a feature of Indian federalism?

1. Option (A) is a feature: India has an independent judiciary to interpret the Constitution and resolve disputes between the Centre and the States, a key element of federalism. 2. Option (B) is a feature: The Constitution clearly divides powers between the Centre and the States through the Union List, State List, and Concurrent List, which is fundamental to a federal structure. 3. Option (C) is a feature: Unlike the US Senate where states have equal representation, Indian federalism provides unequal representation to the federating units (States) in the Rajya Sabha based on their population. 4. Option (D) is *not* a feature: Indian federalism is characterized as 'holding together' federalism, where the Union existed first and states were formed, rather than 'coming together' federalism, which is the result of an agreement among independent federating units joining to form a federation (like the USA). Indian states did not come together through an agreement to form the Union.
