Скачать или смотреть How Pakistani Provinces Are More Powerful Than Indian States?

In this in-depth episode of CPDI Governance Talk, we tackle a critical question for Pakistan's future: Why do Pakistan and India, born as independent nations at the same time with a shared colonial legacy, have such fundamentally different federal structures?

Host Nowsheen Khurram and governance expert Mukhtar Ahmad Ali delve into a comparative analysis of Pakistan's substantially devolved federation and India's highly centralized 'Union of States'. The discussion is framed around the current heated debate in Pakistan concerning the proposed 28th Constitutional Amendment, the creation of new provinces (South Punjab, Hazara, etc.), and the demand to revisit the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award.

Key Discussion Points:
🔹 The Power Divide: We compare the distribution of powers between the Federal/Union government and the provinces/states in both countries, highlighting why India's Constitution allows for the creation of new states through a simple majority, while Pakistan's process is extremely difficult, requiring two-thirds majority in all relevant assemblies.
