Summary: The chapter on "All India Federation" explicitly reveals how best it was endeavoured by the British rule to keep the country one and united under a true federal Constitution and how the Hindu Raj advocated by the Congress and independent Pakistan demanded by the Muslim League which were based on religious fundamentalism thwarted the sincere attempts of the British to establish the solidarity of the Nation and brought about the division of the country into two antagonistic and belligerent nations. The author has courageously and precisely unmasked the blunders committed by the Congress with incontestable records of evidences and references and proved that Congress also was responsible for the partition of the country and thereby, we, the people of India, lost the All India Federation. The founding fathers of the Indian constitution, while adopting the Objectives Resolutions accepted the recommendations of various Constituent Committees and favoured true federal constitution with provision for elected Governors and not conferring any power for taking over the administration of provinces by the central government. All the hopes of adopting a true federal constitution were dashed to pieces jeopardising the noble move towards Federation in the final stage. The reasons attributed by the Congress was that the partition of the country was a compelling factor which led them to adopt a Constitution of this kind. This claim is false, concocted and a travesty of truth. Thus the making of our Constitution has been well explained with the wealth of materials in the fifth chapter, Maha Constitution. The rest of all chapters, except the last one, meticulously deal with the unfederal articles of our Constitution in the sphere of the legislature, the executive and the judiciary. The last chapter on "Commissions, Omissions and Revision" reminds the readers of the recommendations of the Administrative. Reforms Commission, Justice Rajamannar Commission and Justice Sarkaria Commission on Centre-State Relations and demand for the autonomy of the states and other changes in the Constitution sought by the state governments, legislatures and conclaves and justifies the adoption of a true federal constitution.
