The present day Indian political system has grown out of a long evolutionary process and can be seen as a system that seeks to address the myriad socio-political, economic and cultural expectations of India as a modern nation state in a holistic manner. The present book, while tracing the political systems as existent in India in the ancient and medieval times, introduces the different components of modern Indian polity in terms of their structure and functional and how do they interact in making it citizen friendly. The book, written for the general reader in a simple and non technical language, is likely to appeal to a spectrum of readers including teachers and students, and any body interested in understanding the functioning of Indian polity.
