उत्तर दाखवा आणि स्पष्टीकरण

उत्तर: (B) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

स्पष्टीकरण

Both are true but R does not explain A. India is 'quasi-federal' (K.C. Wheare) because of strong unitary features: a strong Centre, single constitution, emergency powers and Governors. An independent judiciary is a federal feature and does not explain the 'quasi' label.
