Indian Politics: Constitutional Foundations and Institutional Functioning, Second Edition

This dexterously planned textbook gives a panoramic view of the political system of India. It observes, minutely, the role played by the Constitution, State and the Central government, civil society, and of course the market in the functioning style of a government. A retrospective as well as prospective analysis of the Indian parliament, judiciary and executive brings to the fore a crystal clear view of the Indian political scenario. In this second edition of the book, inclusion of a new chapter on Local Self Government (Ch. 9) and addition of new sections in several chapters have broadened the scope of this book. Designed as a standard text for undergraduate and post graduate students of Political Science, this text is a gem for the aspirants of Civil Services Examination.
