The Indian Government

India is a democratic country. In this system, people choose their own leaders who form the government and administer the country. A form of government that is of the people, by the people and for the people is called a democracy. India is a large country with a huge population. There are 32 States and 7 Union Territories.
SEPARATION OF POWERS
A Democratic system of governance works perfectly only when there is a clear separation of powers. In India, the central or the state government is divided into separate but inter-related  branches.
The Legislature
The legislature is the law making body of the government.
The Executive
The executive is a branch of the government responsible for the implementation and the execution of the laws made by the legislature.
The Judiciary
The judiciary ensures that all the works done by the government is in accordance with the rules laid down in our Constitution. If any action is against the Constitution, judiciary has the power to over ride it and declare it as invalid.
To facilitate better governance of such a big country, it has been divided into States and Union territories. There are two main levels of the Government in India -
Central Government and State Government.
