At a time when the nation is passing through difficulties and our polity is under tremendous strain, the India International Centre has taken the initiative to analyse and examine a theme of great relevance to the current crisis. Eminent political scientists, sociologists, jurists, administrators, advocates, educationists and public men have come together in this prestigious work to present their perspectives on the Constitution of India. From the pages of the book, it emerges clearly that the case for a review of the political system and of bringing about constitutional reforms is unassailable and that the matter has assumed the greatest urgency. The ideas and suggestions presented here are bound to generate a national debate and help evolve a consensus on essentials.
