Our Living Constitution

Our Living Constitution presents a profound examination of the Indian Constitution as a dynamic and evolving legal framework rather than a static legal code. The book explains how constitutional interpretation by the judiciary has allowed the Constitution to respond to changing social realities, democratic demands, and governance challenges.

It discusses core constitutional principles such as rule of law, separation of powers, judicial review, and constitutional morality, illustrating how these concepts are applied in contemporary jurisprudence. The work also highlights the role of constitutional amendments and landmark Supreme Court judgments in shaping India’s democratic structure and rights-based framework.

Through doctrinal analysis and practical examples, the book demonstrates how constitutional law operates in everyday governance, public administration, and protection of civil liberties. It explores tensions between stability and change, tradition and transformation, and authority and accountability within the constitutional system.
