About the Book:
As India marks seventy-five years as a Republic, this book offers a critical and wide-ranging exploration of how the Indian Constitution has evolved from its philosophical roots to meet the demands of a vibrant and diverse democracy. Seeking to weave together history, law, and political analysis, it examines how the Constitution has endured as both a pillar of stability and an instrument of transformation. Further tracing the influences that shaped the framers’ vision, the book presents a critical analysis of the amendments, judicial decisions, and governance reforms that have marked its evolution. It engages with some of the most pressing issues of our time, from federal reforms like the Goods and Services Tax to the abrogation of Article 370, and from the Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens to questions of electoral integrity and political funding—probing how constitutional principles are continually tested, reinterpreted, and reshaped.
