Coming-together federation is like separate states choosing to unite, while holding-together is when a big country grants power to its regions to stay united. People say India and Belgium are holding-together to manage their diversity. But from my shop here, I see a central power that often feels distant and imposed, not like a generous grant—more like a reluctant holding-on. When the GST rules change every year, it’s not "holding-together" cooperation, it’s "keeping-us-together" by force, *kay zhala*.
