✅Note = If you believe you can just go through the highlights and remember everything- i am afraid that is humanly impossible. Dont get intimidated by the volume- Most of the articles over a period of time will be reduced to just a single line or a word - also notice the themes being repeated over months- Ultimately at the end of the year- objective is to have notes that can be revised overnight before the exam- it requires practice and patience- One cant build body by watching gym videos on youtube- same is the case here🙂

✅Gs-2 : Federalism- centre - state relations
✅Gs-1 : Indian Society- Regionalism
🅾️This can be interlinked to Regionalism topic -What is Regionalism?
⚠️ Often there will be bitter feelings whenever regional feelings dominate- Why?- Read about the Sons of the soil theory
🎖Federalism has three dimensions- ( refer Laxmikanth )
🅾️1) Administrative division of powers- Recently West Bengal was reprimanded for not attending meeting of PM(Alapan Bandopadhyay)
🅾️2) Financial Relations- Challenges include GST and other cesses
🅾️3) Legislative - Ex : Farm laws
🎖States resort to regionalism to retain their autonomy which is dangerous- Examples
🔰Language
🔰Nagaland Issue
✅Conclusion : Cooperative and competitive federalism may be two sides of the same coin - Both competition and cooperation are needed
