Produktbeschreibung

Who was Sir B N Rau and why is it important to remember him in the history of the Indian constitution? This book answers this question by taking us into the years leading to India's independence and the framing of the Indian constitution. In recovering his ideas by revisiting the political context of the day, one understands why he must be remembered and why, unfortunately, he has been forgotten.
