Read the statement given below :
"The Indian State has many checks and balances to prevent the misuse of powers."
Choose the correct option that represents the meaning of 'Indian State' in the above statement.
Answer: D
'Indian State' here means the Indian political system.
The NCERT textbook explains that 'State' with a capital S refers to the political institution that represents a sovereign people, not to the states of India such as Punjab or Kerala. The checks and balances meant here are those among the legislature, executive and judiciary of the whole political system.
The Central Government and the bureaucracy are only parts of that system, and 'any State Government' confuses the State with the states of the federation.
