What does the term quasi-federal mean

Answer: The quasi-federal system is characterised by an unequal distribution of power between the central government and the states. India is a federation with a cohesive orientation and a quasi-federal state due to its strong central government.

India is not a federal state. It is a non-federal characteristic since it mixes the qualities of a federal government with those of a single government. India is termed a semi-federal state for this reason. It is described by Professor K.C. as a quasi-federal state.
