How should a Constitution written in 1950 be read in the 2020s? Prof. Rattan Singh’s Indian Constitutionalism tackles the interpretive debate at the heart of modern constitutional law — originalism versus the living Constitution — in the Indian context. The book examines how the Supreme Court has actually navigated the choice: the transformation of Article 21, the basic structure doctrine as a living-constitutionalist device, constitutional morality in the recent privacy and equality decisions, and the counter-arguments grounded in constituent-assembly intent.
Compact and sharply argued, it is ideal supplementary reading for constitutional law papers, LLM seminars, and interview-stage judiciary preparation — the kind of book that lifts an answer from correct to distinguished. 2025 edition.
