Book excerpt: Constitutional Amendments in The Indian Constitution (A Horizontal Approach) The book presents a careful study of Amendments of the Indian Constitution and for that, a cut-section approach has been adopted. In this book, the study of Constitutional Amendments has been presented in an easy and systematic way by adopting a chronological approach to the amendments in various parts. Only those provisions of the Constitution have been selected which have remained more prone to amendments. The factors responsible for the amendments along with their consequences have also been studied. Some of these amendments were enacted to ensure the smooth working of the Constitutional system, and some of these amendments were enacted in reaction to changing social and political environment. But unfortunately, some of the amendments were enacted to gain political mileage or to fulfill personal interest only. On several occasions, when the Parliament has tried to impose its political will on the nation by amending the Constitution in an arbitrary manner, the Judiciary has tried to uphold the letter and spirit of the Constitution by declaring some amending provisions as ‘unconstitutional. This book would be very helpful for undergraduate and postgraduate students, academicians, legal practitioners as well as the common man.
