Detailed Solution

India is a federation because the power of the Union and State Governments are specified in the Constitution and they have exclusive jurisdiction on their respective subjects.
A federal system has two or more levels of government. These levels are autonomous and have their own jurisdictions. For both the levels to work simultaneously, the powers of each government have to be mentioned separately. The same characteristic can be seen in the political system of India. The Constitution has provided various lists of subjects on which each level of government can make laws. This makes India a federation, although the Constitution never mentions this exact word.
