What type of federation is India, where some states have more powers than other states?
Holding together
Holding together is correct.
In a holding together federation, a large country decides to divide its power between the constituent states and the national government.
Here the central government tends to be more powerful, and the constituent units often have unequal powers; some units are granted special powers. India follows this model.
In a coming together federation, such as the USA, Switzerland or Australia, independent states join to form a bigger unit and usually have equal power, which is not the case described.
