Detailed Solution

India is a good example of ‘holding together’ federations.
India, Spain and Belgium are good examples of holding together federation. In holding together federations a large country is divided into central and state governments. The mechanisms are set up to divide powers and resources among them. Often the power among different states is unequally distributed depending on their needs and specific conditions. For example in India areas with scheduled tribes populations have autonomy over their lands and forests and some states even enjoy autonomy in certain aspects. But the central government remains the most powerful unit as it has to ensure the unity and integrity of the federation.
