The first edition of this book was published 25 years after Independence. This second edition has been revised keeping in view the debates on the Constitution that cropped up in the next 28 years, including the current one, on the revision of the entire text, and is based on the belief that the Constitution of India was framed within an integrated legal-political structure which may be affected by piecemeal amendments.
