The Encyclopaedia of Indian Government and Politics has been designed to enable students of politics, researchers, scholars and journalists to get a clear picture of the politics of today which has become so volatile that it is difficult to keep up with daily events. It combines the functional statutes and commentaries and penetrates their legalese in a concise and reader-friendly manner. It is a handbook which offers ready reference to the Constitution of India, the election laws, the formation of government, specifics of Indian federalism and political events--all in one place, indexed for easy access and containing an exhaustive bibliography to guide the reader into areas on which he feels the need for more detailed knowledge. The Encyclopaedia also offers, in most instances, informative and comparative comments on similar statutes in other countries to stress the variance in perceptions and the reasons thereof. This gives a better understanding of the compulsions and needs that govern the process of political law-making in India.
