(This is the second part of a two-part series on cooperative federalism. The first part dealt with the success and failures of cooperative federalism in India.)The National Education Policy of 2020, while visionary in its ambition, has exposed the fault lines of linguistic identity and administrative divergence. States like Tamil Nadu and Kerala have raised valid concerns over language policies and centralised exam structures. More importantly, even states governed by the same political alliance as the Centre have struggled to implement the National Education Policy consistently. This is not merely a failure of politics. It is a warning that national reform, unless grounded in real federal dialogue, will always face friction at the final mile.
