PREFACE
The study of Indian Government and Politics which did not
attracted much attention by the Indian scholars for long, have been
receiving greater attention of late. In view of the growing importance of
the subject it is being introduced as a paper for the graduate and
post-graduation courses of the various universities of India. But there is
no single book which covers the various aspects of Indian politics. In
this book the author has made a modest attempt to present and designed
to meet the requirements of students of Indian universities and those for
various competitive examinations in a consolidated and comprehensive
form. It will also serve the purpose of those students who are doing their
graduation. The author does not claim any originality. Author’s main
effort has been to collect the vast material lying scattered in various
books, journals and newspapers and to present the same in a systematic
manner, which may be easily understood by the students.
Book has been written in simple language so that the students can
follow it without any difficulty. I hope it will meet the needs of those
whom it has been written.
For convenience of readers the book has been divided into three
parts. Part one deals with historical background of colonialism,
nationalism, national and constitutional development upto 1947. Part two
deals with the making of constitution, union and state executive,
legislature and judiciary. In Part three, Indian Political System or Nature
of Indian Politics has been discussed.
I am grateful to M/s Lakshmi Narain Agarwal, Agra, the publishers
for bringing out this book in a short time before the students. I am also
grateful to the Library of Jiwaji University, Gwalior, for providing me
timely necessary reading material.
Suggestions for improvements of the book, are invited.
