Statement-I: The Constitution of India provides for a federal system. This is true; India has a federal system with a division of powers between the Union and States, a written constitution, and an independent judiciary, among other federal features. However, it is often described as quasi-federal or federal in form but unitary in spirit due to its strong central bias. Statement-II: It has created a very strong centre. This is also true. The Indian Constitution includes several features that make the centre very powerful, such as a long Union List, residuary powers with the Union, emergency provisions, single citizenship, power to alter state boundaries, and appointed state governors. While both statements are true, the fact that the Constitution creates a very strong centre is a characteristic of the Indian federal system (often seen as a unitary bias within the federal structure), but it is not the reason or explanation for why the system is considered federal. The federal nature is derived from the division of powers, the written constitution, etc., while the strong centre is a specific feature within that structure.
