Discuss how special provisions for tribal populations help in maintaining federal unity while giving special status to certain areas.

One size does not fit all approach. Unity and Integrity of India: Indian federation is indestructible union of destructible states. No state has right to secede from union. Special provisions help in this objective. Autonomy: More autonomy given to special areas to cater for regional aspirations of locals. Linguistic: Creation of states on linguistic basis eg. Andhra Pradesh & Telangana to avoid conflict & increase development. Monetary benefits: Few states given more financial resource to achieve balanced development. Truly Indian federalism signifies not only regional but national aspirations through its special provisions which rebalance the asymmetric nature of relations.
