The book covers University syllabi in Political Science in the papers of Hindu Polity, Indian Political Thought and Modern Indian Political Thought etc. Divided into three parts—the ancient, the modern and the contemporary, this book analyses Indian political thought from Manu to M.N. Roy. In order to keep it brief and precise only selected thinkers have been included while those of only historical importance have been left out. The method followed is construction through criticism so that besides knowing the thought of eminent Indian political thinkers, the reader may develop an insight into political processes, their causes and consequences. While matter has been drawn from authentic sources, it has been narrated in simple language. A balanced holistic approach has been maintained in controversial matters. The authors have left no stone unturned to make this book an ideal textbook for students and reference book for teachers.
