Rashtrapati Bhavan was constructed between 1911-1931 in New Delhi as the official residence of the President of India. It was designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker during the British Raj. India is a federal parliamentary democratic republic governed by its constitution, which came into effect in 1950. The constitution originally described India as a sovereign democratic republic, which was later amended to "sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic". India has a quasi-federal system with a strong central government and weaker state governments, which has become increasingly federal in recent decades.

Rashtrapati Bhavan, the official residence of the President of India, was constructed between 1911 and

1931, and designed by British architects Edwin Lutyens and Herbert Baker for the Viceroy of India during
the British Raj.[223]

India is a federation with a parliamentary system governed under the Constitution of


India—the country's supreme legal document. It is a constitutional republic
and representative democracy, in which "majority rule is tempered by minority
rights protected by law". Federalism in India defines the power distribution between
the union and the states. The Constitution of India, which came into effect on 26
January 1950,[224] originally stated India to be a "sovereign, democratic republic;" this
characterisation was amended in 1971 to "a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic
republic".[225] India's form of government, traditionally described as "quasi-federal"
with a strong centre and weak states,[226] has grown increasingly federal since the late
1990s as a result of political, economic, and social changes.[227][228]
