India is a complex society to govern. The Central government and the State governments have their own jurisdictions on many matters and both share the power to legislate on many subjects. It is important to recognize that continuous terrorist attacks in India have affected the social and economic development of the country and more seriously, undermined the democratic fabric and the governance capabilities of our society.
