About the Book Constitution and its Working

The author pens the Constitution and its Working as a sequel to Constitution and its Making. The book captures the author’s experience with the workings of the Constitution of India through musings, anecdotes, and episodes. ‘Tryst with Destiny’ Speech (Nehru classic) has not become a Grammar of Anarchy (Ambedkar peroration) thanks to the Constitutional Czars in the Hall of Fame, as Justices Fazl Ali, Vivian Bose, Subba Rao, V R Krishna Iyer; and stalwart legal practitioners including Nani Palkhivala, Motilal Setalvad, H M Seervai, Soli Sorabjee, the likes of whom come no more, tells the author. In a fascinating constitutional ride, on the musings and episodal road, the author has the reader hooked. The contents and characters commend themselves. The characters came alive, as our Constitution, as made, got ‘Working’, for We the People.
