Democracy and Constitutionalism in India: A Study of the basic Structure Doctrine.

August 6, 2009 | Dr. Sudhir Krishnaswamy

 

The book examines the basic structure doctrine that was first articulated by the Indian Supreme court in 1973. This doctrine that the Constitution has some provisions that cannot be altered, or removed through amendments. It assesses the legitimacy of the basic structure doctrine in legal, moral, and sociological terms and argues that much of the criticism against the doctrine emerges from the failure to adequately map the contours of constitutional judicial review.
