https://telegram.me/pdf4exams/ Downloaded From https://telegram.me/testseries4exams/ | Preface to the | Sixth Edition |
I am pleased to place before the readers a thoroughly revised, | enlarged and updated edition of this widely read book on Indian | Polity. |
In 2011 and 2013, the UPSC changed the pattern and syllabus | of the preliminary and main examinations, respectively. Both | times, the scope of Indian Polity has been considerably increased. |
Hence, this new edition of the book is more relevant now and is | aimed to meet the expanded needs of the aspirants. | In the course of revision and updation of this edition of the |
book, various new developments related to the subject, like recent | constitutional amendments, parliamentary legislations, executive | decisions and supreme court judgments, have been taken into |
account. | Changes in this Edition: | 1. Addition of 6 new chapters. |
2. Inclusion of 2017, 2018 and 2019 preliminary questions with | answers. | 3. Inclusion of 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 mains questions. |
4. Updation of the year-wise break-up of the UPSC questions | in the preliminary and main examinations. | 5. Inclusion of additional updated information on a number of |
topics. | 6. New items included in various chapters. | New Chapters: |
1. Goods and Services Tax Council | 2. National Commission for Backward Classes | 3. National Investigation Agency |
4. National Disaster Management Authority | 5. Role of Regional Parties | 6. Coalition Government |
https://telegram.me/pdf4exams/ Downloaded From https://telegram.me/testseries4exams/ | I firmly believe that this is now a very comprehensive and | updated manual. It is a matter of immense satisfaction that the |
previous five editions of this book have received an overwhelming | response from readers. I am confident that readers would | continue to repose their faith in this edition as well. |
Constructive comments and concrete suggestions to further | improve the book are welcome and shall be gratefully | acknowledged. |
https://telegram.me/pdf4exams/ Downloaded From https://telegram.me/testseries4exams/ | Preface to the | First Edition |
I have great pleasure in placing this book before the aspirants of | the top administrative services. The book has been written to | meet the growing requirements of the candidates appearing for |
the Civil Services Examinations (Preliminary and Main) conducted | by the Union Public Service Commission. It directly and fully | covers the Indian Polity section of the paper on General Studies |
and is also useful for certain optional subjects like Public | Administration, Political Science, Law, Sociology and | Anthropology. |
This comprehensive volume would enable the readers to | acquire a complete and detailed understanding of the subject. It | covers all dimensions (constitutional, non-constitutional, political |
and administrative) of the subject. My first-hand experience of | coaching the candidates for the Civil Services Examinations has | been a great source of inspiration and has helped me immensely |
in writing this book. | An effort has been made to make the contents of the book | relevant, authentic, and up-to-date. The constitutional provisions |
are explained in the light of the debates of the Constituent | Assembly of India as well as the judgements of the Supreme | Court and the high courts. I have also used tables to make the |
presentation more clear. The Appendices, provided at the end of | the book, serve as a reference section. | I welcome all constructive comments and concrete suggestions |
https://telegram.me/pdf4exams/ Downloaded From https://telegram.me/testseries4exams/ | Acknowledgements | D uring the course of writing this book, I have received help, |
encouragement and assistance from my teachers, students, | family members, colleagues, friends, library staff and others. | I am thankful to all of them. |
I am particularly grateful to my wife, Smt. M. Vidya, for the | encouragement and support that she provided during the | preparation of the book. |
I am deeply indebted to the eminent political scientists and | constitutional experts (Granville Austin, Moris Jones, K.C. | Wheare, Rajni Kothari, Paul Appleby, K. Santhanam, N.A. |
Palkhivala, Soli Sorabji, D.D. Basu, V.N. Shukla, M.P. Jain, | Subhash Kashyap) and other scholars of repute whose valuable | works have been highly useful in the writing of this book. |
My thanks are also due to Mr. Tanmoy Roychowdhury, Mr. | Deepak Singh, Ms. Shukti Mukherjee, Ms. Shalini Jha, Ms. | Shreya Soni and Ms. Anjali Chakravarty of McGraw Hill India |
Private Limited for their unstinted cooperation in bringing out this | updated edition on time. | M. LAXMIKANTH |
