The appointment of governors in India is made by the President of India. The removal of governors is also within the President's power, however, governors can be removed only on the advice of the Prime Minister.

• The appointment process of governors is not entirely transparent as there have been instances where individuals with political affiliations have been appointed.
• The removal process also lacks transparency as it is subject to political influence.
• The governor is essentially a representative of the central government, and hence, his/her role is not entirely in line with the principles of federalism.
• There have been instances in India where governors have been accused of exceeding their jurisdiction and overstepping the powers given to them under the Constitution.
• The appointment and removal of governors must ensure that the role of governors in India is consistent with the principles of federalism.

In conclusion, the appointment and removal process of governors in India does not entirely conform to the principles of federalism. The process needs to be made more transparent and the role of governors needs to be re-evaluated to ensure that they do not exceed their authority and maintain the federal structure of the country.
