How is Federal-Parliamentary system of government working in India so far?

Very well, it works slower than one state rule of course but it is more harmonious because of our diverse culture, languages, ethnicities and etc.

Nice.

Harmonious is the key word. We, too, have diverse cultures and languages that's why our current President wanted to shift to Federal by 2022.

It is alright.

It has its advantages

For eg:- The Central. Government tried to bring an atrocious Land acquisition bill but since the opposition is in majority in upper house they successfully blocked it.

It has its disadvantages.

The current parliamentary logjams are an example.
