Answer and explanation

Morris-Jones, in 'The Government and Politics of India', described Indian federalism as 'bargaining federalism', since Union-State relations work through continuous negotiation and bargaining, for example in the Planning Commission, the Finance Commission and the National Development Council. K. C. Wheare called the Indian Constitution 'quasi-federal', while A. K. Chanda and D. D. Basu wrote on Union-State relations and the Constitution without coining this term.
