Synopsis

About the BookIndia Through Its Constitution: From Colonial Rule to Constitutional Democracy traces India's constitutional journey from colonial governance to the establishment and functioning of the Republic. It explains how representative institutions developed under British rule, how nationalist demands for self-government shaped constitutional thought, and how the Constituent Assembly transformed these experiences into a democratic constitutional framework. The book examines the making of the Constitution, the Preamble, Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles, Fundamental Duties and safeguards for disadvantaged communities. It then explores the Union and State governments, Parliament, the judiciary, federal relations, elections, local self-government and the constitutional amendment process. Particular attention is given to judicial review, the basic structure doctrine and the evolving relationship between the Union and the States. It is useful for undergraduate students of History, Political Science and related disciplines, as well as candidates preparing for competitive examinations.
