An Introduction To The Constitution Of India

0.0

"The book provides an overview of the Indian Constitution and its effects on the stability of our country. It has been written for the students of political science, public administration, and law, those preparing competitive examinations of UPSC and State service commissions, political and social workers, and even interested citizens since the book is written in an informative style and does not go into the depths and intricacies of law. Fifth edition includes a summary of the recommendations of the Constitution Review Commission, which are considerable importance. A few amendments to the Constitution have even been brought about based on these – like making education a Fundamental right and placing an upper limit on the total number of ministers in the State and Central cabinets. The book is also updated with a commentary on the 14th general elections of India."
