I am an engineer and to understand the legal terms is a tedious job, but this book with its set of examples makes it easier to understand the Constitution. It presents the Indian Constitution in a pleasant way and defines it philosophy in such a manner that you feel proud of it being an Indian. However, at points where you feel Indian Constitution lacks something he is also critical of the same or explains why that is the case and you again start feeling that it is fine. After so much of trouble that the country had been facing - Anna Hazare's fast unto death campaign, Black Money case, 2G Spectrum, CWG Scam case - which had lead me to feel devastated and having lost my faith in the system and the law of the land, this book comes as a refresher and bring back the hope that Indian Constitution will act as a check on the government and other persons and will make everything better by asserting itself. It is necessary read for everyone. Whether you are a lawyer or not does not matter. It should be read by every citizen of the country to know the Constitution (which is the basis of the laws of the land).

The Indian Constitution is the largest written constitution in the world which is also very complex with so many dimensions. It is in such a scenario where a book like this one plays a crucial role in translating these complex subjects presented in the constitution to a medium that could enable even a layman to understand and study these complex concepts. Basu does a brilliant job in explaining the dreams and aspirations of the founding fathers, various discussions that lead to the core values, how other constitution inspired us and how it was adapted to match with our social, political and economic scenarios.
He also provides us insight into how the Constitution has evolved over time through various amendments introduced by the ruling governments. After a detailed study of various provisions, judicial case studies that defined several of these provisions, the author evaluates its performance to identify certain vulnerabilities that have limited even the checks and balances system of the constitution. Covering such vast field of the study Dr. Basu put forward some suggestions for improvement over the present structure. All these factors together make this book an indispensable text for any political science student or for those who are attempting competitive examinations like UPSC, SSC etc.
Even though this book may seem dry and tiring to most, I myself paused reading this one several times and thus took almost a year to complete; but this is most authoritative text I have come across on this subject. I feel the author has covered (almost) everything one needs to know from an examination point of view. Overall, this text is a capsule of everything one will ever need to know about the Constitution of India for any competitive exams.
Do give a thumbs up if you enjoyed reading this review or comment below if you would love to share your opinion. Looking forward to hearing from you guys. I bought the book considering that it will just revisit all the articles, schedules and provisions contained in the Indian constitution. But what the book got has really impressed. It has very good interpretation of the constitution by Scholarly and impartial academician. Though it is an Herculean task to interpret each and every article and provisions of the constitution the book does it in a neat and concise manner. What's more astonishing about the book is that unlike many other academic book I bought the book considering that it will just revisit all the articles, schedules and provisions contained in the Indian constitution.
But what the book got has really impressed. It has very good interpretation of the constitution by Scholarly and impartial academician. Though it is an Herculean task to interpret each and every article and provisions of the constitution the book does it in a neat and concise manner. What's more astonishing about the book is that unlike many other academic books which just get the things done through mere facts this book has done a fair job in interpreting various judgements and correlating them to the aforementioned provisions in the book. Finally as they say if you are preparing for Civils or if want to get a bit of gist of the legislative proceedings happening every day in India it is a must book to read. You have to read the Constitution in order to understand its importance and significance for the nation and its people. The underlying foundation of democracy in India, the Constitution should be the most revered document for all of the people of the nation.

The underlying foundation of democracy in India, the Constitution should be the most revered document for all of the people of the nation. This book By Dr Basu introduces the constitution and its strengths and vulnerabilities. It tells you about the differences and the similarities that the Indian Constitution shares with that of the American, British, Australian, Canadian, Turkish and Irish Constitutions. It also introduces you to the basic structure of parliamentary democracy, federalism, judicial system, union and state legislatures and public service commissions. The book clearly states the vulnerability that the Indian Constitution faces.
The numerous amendments carried out easily by each successive government after 1950 validates his concern. The importance of the constitution is also implied by the numerous interpretations and the referrals to it by the Judiciary from time to time.
The book is good for understanding the power the constitution wields over the nation and its people, but what dissatisfied me a little was just the perfunctory references provided while explaining the content. It would have been more prudent to include a brief description of all the cases in an appended case-story section. This is a good text to understand the most important document but it would be better if could specify a few things more and could elaborate on the parts that need a little more explanation.
For Example: elaboration on why the Assembly chose the parliamentary form of government and not the presidential system of government or on fundamental rights etcetera. Notwithstanding these issues (which I feel should be addressed), it is still a great text to understand the foundation of Indian Polity. Basu comes across as a passionate writer. While most other writers of consequence on Indian constitution are dull and drab, the inherent strength of this book is the energy that the author has put in to defend the cherished ideals of the constitution. While the language is a bit legalese (hence complex), the end product is well worth the trouble. Rather than merely encapsulate the summary of the constitution, Basu has infused his book with his own opinions.

Rather than merely encapsulate the summary of the constitution, Basu has infused his book with his own opinions. While the criticisms of the constitution are well addressed, it seems like a nationalist perspective and we hardly come across a critique that has not been debunked. Also the parallel evolution of judicial interpretation could have been a little more substantial.
I find that certain landmark cases have recurring mentions while some are totally erased. Also when the judiciary and executive have been on a collision course again (like on NJAC), the book is not updated regularly and will lose its esteemed place unless some scholar updates it. The onus for the same falls squarely on LexisNexis. I had read couple of books on the constitution, namely Subhash Kashyap and Lakshmikant, before stumbling upon this masterpiece. Basu's book is by far the best work on constitution I've come across.
Basu has done a remarkable job of presenting the Constitution of India in a lucid manner, without compromising on the nuances of various legal interpretations. The language is simple, and content pretty much exhaustive.

The language is simple, and content pretty much exhaustive. I'd recommend the readers to supplement it with some bare act (everybody uses PM Bakshi - which is good) and refer it whenever in doubt. This strategy will go a long way in making someone not with a law background, like myself, understand the constitution. So get yourself a copy of this book and get on with it!
In my opinion, everybody should read the constitution. It's such a phenomenal work you'll literally feel your mental horizons expand while you're at it.
