The book deals with the making and unfolding of the Constitution of India, framed by the Constituent Assembly between 1946 and 1949. Superseding the conventional legalistic approach, it focuses on the politico-ideological priorities of the members of Assembly who played a critical role in preparing the provisions of the Constitution.

With its appeal cutting across academic specializations, this book stands out as a significant document by making readers aware of their constitutional rights and duties and the ways to utilize the constitutional directions for human and national betterment. Written in lucid language, this book is a great asset for those seeking to understand the complex ideas implicit in legally articulated provisions.

Tailored to the academic requirements of a global readership, this volume would be useful to students, researchers and teachers working in the fields of Politics, Law, public administration and public policy. It would also be an invaluable resource for legal experts and policymakers.
