People are the foundation of any country and the constitution is made by the people and works for the people. There are policies, schemes and facilities worked out by the government which never benefit the people for whom they are made. The aim of the book is to make the people aware of their basic rights and duties. This book will also act as the eyes, ears and voices of thousands of people who are born and perished with a hope to understand, as a citizen of India what are their rights, what they can do and what are the duties of the executive organ vis-a-vis law enforcing agencies.
