It is better to be a human dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.“ - J.S.MILL


This quote by J.S.Mill is clearly applicable on this thread where everybody is just trying to satisfy themselves by justifying there irrational and illogical answers.
Its better to wait till the result and then you can say whatever you want.

@Capedcrusader1  question ke option me independence judiciary he Kya . … option to ‘’independence of judiciary is safeguarded “  likha he .  Judiciary ki independence ka safeguarded hona ya na hona …ye to constitution ka basic structure he . 1973 se pahle  to safeguarded nhi tha . 

 99 amendment ko 4/1 ratio me judge ne independence ke against mana . Agr future me kisi amendment se judiciary ke independence ko destroy kr Diya jata he aur Supreme Court ka approval mil jita he to kya India federal nhi rahega .  

Just asking. …

Bicameralism is not the essential feature of Federalism. UK is unitary despite having house of lords and house of commons.Bicameralism was introduced by 1919 Act but was India Federal ?
Federalism is a power sharing agreement and like all agreement it needs an adjudicatory mechanism to resolve disputes between Federal and State governments; a role performed by Supreme Court in India. If the Supreme Court is not independent how will states safeguard their interest in face of Federal encroachment in their respective domains? Thats why Written Contract and Independent Judiciary are most important aspects of a federation.
State - A, Parliament UK India - C, Article 14 - These questions are not disputed.

federalism ka toh saaf saaf likha h laksmikant me. KI "independence ofjuduciary" is a feature. ye bhi doubtful hai??


Laxmikanth main "Bicameralism" bhi diya hai . Both are features of federalism, but the Q is which is more essential. Most likely A hi hai, but B can't be 100% ruled out as its a matter of interpretation in end. Its subjective. 

+1

Independent judiciary is essential when it comes to "separation of powers"  between organs of govt...it is also a feature of federalism, no question about it. Federalism essentially means "division of powers" among constituent units. Question framed to check conceptual understanding beyond laxmikanth.. Judiciary can be ans but not most appropriate option

@D503 Bicameralism IS a basic feature of federalism. Your argument is in reverse order. Having a bicameral legislature does not make a polity federal. But a federal polity needs a bicameral structure to represent its constituents

But, the catch is that it is bicameralism that is the basic feature, not having elected members in it. You can compare it with Canadian model, where the upper house is not elected, but is still a federal polity with a bicameral legislature

On the other hand, an independent judiciary is a basic feature of any federation. A federation is fundamentally based on a contract. To be effective, any contract needs an independent adjudicating body

Just a question- is UK's judiciary independent? It is not supreme, though. All answer keys have marked it as A, probably right. Rest depends on UPSC.

@oopsiebut with respect to India.. it is possible -- which is asked in Q (A and B both can be essential features but B seems more close)
