Constitution of India

The Indian Constitution describes in great detail the long and complex charter of governance which provides the basic infrastructure of the polity of the country. It is considered to be one of the most detailed documents of its type.

This book is something more than just a primer to understanding the Indian Constitution. It not only discusses the charter itself, but also the various institutions that it supports, the structure of the institutions and the rights and privileges of the citizens of India as guaranteed under the Constitution.

The Indian Constitution discusses arguments for and against the Constitution, the flaws that became evident over the years and the amendments that were made to correct the flaws and prevent misuse of the provisions of the Constitution.

Special attention is paid to those sections of the Constitution which have come under scrutiny and attack on many occasions during the past fifty odd years, especially during political crises and periods of political instability.

Students and observers of politics, administrators, bureaucrats, politicians and policy makers and those having a general interest in the political and administrative activities of the country will find it useful.
