Description:

This book is written as a textbook for courses on Constitution and Government of India. It covers the history of making the Constitution, and offers chapters on Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles; Federal System; Executive and Parliament; Judiciary (Supreme Court as well as High Courts); and Election Commission.

By using Tables and Boxes to highlight important issues and to give information concisely, the book explains constitutional provisions in a simpler way; making it easy to understand and grasp. The book adopts a distinct approach compared to existing textbooks. It explains Constitutional provisions in the context of Constitutional Assembly Debates, as well as amendments and court judgements. This helps bring in the historical and evolutionary nature of Constitutional provisions. Besides, important points are noted in a separate Box, both at the end of the chapter and at the end of sections, wherever necessary.

Each chapter follows with Questions as well as suggestions for Projects and Assignments. It will help the teachers plan their tests and class-assignments. The content and the questions/projects compliment the evaluation pattern under the New Education Policy (NEP).
