Generations of Constitutional Studies

A paper on the Indian Constitution and its working is de rigueur in both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in political science across Indian universities. When the two of us exchanged notes comparing what we read on the Indian Constitution at similar points of time in our educational journey, we realized that studying the constitution has been a lively area of interest, and there has been an impressive increase in scholarly work over the years. In the last decade, it has been approached from a variety of disciplinary paths causing a veritable explosion almost as if constitutional studies are the most fashionable field of research.
