Dr. D.D. Basu is not known in legal realms by his name alone but it is because of his maturity of understanding, excellence of elucidation and simplicity of expression which ranks him at the top amongst Indian Authors known, read and acclaimed throughout India and abroad. Amongst many of his outstanding works and Comparative Constitutional Law and Comparative Federalism have always been recognized as unparallel and incomparable works with any other book on the subject, much because of the in-depth study of special features and incidents of a Federal Constitution, from the standpoint of comparative law in addition to the exhaustive and analytical study of the theme and thought of Comparative Federalism. The eloquences of the earlier edition was superb much because of excerpts from Constitutions of almost all the developed and developing countries with cross references of decisions on the intricacies of Comparative Constitutional Law and Comparative Federalism as interpreted by numerous Courts at national and international levels. After discussing the broad features of a written Constitution in the first volume of this series on Comparative Constitutional Law, we now take up the special features and incidents of a Federal Constitution, from the standpoint of comparative law. Obviously, the broad issues involved in the federal system have already been outlined in the Author's book on Comparative Constitutional Law by way of introduction to a written Constitution which is federal in nature. In the present one the author has dealt with the general features of federalism. Political Science classified Constitutions as unitary and federal, from the organizational standpoint, i.e., from the standpoint of distribution of governmental powers, vertically, in a system of 'dual government'.

The book Cases and Materials on Constitutional Law of India Fons Juris of Foundational Fundamentals presents an in-depth study about the foundational fundamentals of textual Constitution of India. Foundational fundamentals are fons juris of our Constitution. Our Constitution was devised on the basis of "The Constitution of India ? Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow", which promotes the understanding of constitutional framework. With diffidence, it brings about familiarity with the key terms, expressions, clauses, cases and chronologies in constitutional law and to articulate informed opinion over important and controversial constitutional issues, particularly relating to Basic Structure, Expounding Philosophy of the textual Constitution, Concepts of the Constitution, Constitutional Law and Constitutionalism, Preamble, Citizenship, Fundamental Rights, Directive Principles of State Policy and Fundamental Duties. With reticent, an attempt has been made to present, for the first time in the study of constitutional law, insights into jural postulates in context and content of correlatives and opposites in relation to fundamental rights, directive principles of State policy and Fundamental Duties. Constitution of India is the soul of our country India that is Bharat ? the Union of States, a pictogram of mutually reciprocal and friendly to each other states; an emblem of indestructible union of destructible units. It is supremalex of India. It is a symbol of unity in diversity. It is a treasure of national heritage. It is the conscience of our country. It is the sacred gospel of our nation containing the aspirations of We the People of India aimed at strengthening the unity, integrity and harmony of the Nation. It is not a seasonal document; it is a permanent document that binds the posterity for ages. In this context, the constitutional textual words, terms and expressions do not change, but its interpretation undergoes a change having one meaning in one context and somewhat different meaning in another context.

Parliament: Powers, Functions and Privileges is focused on the Indian polity with comparative insights of practices and experiences of various liberal democracies. India, having given itself a basic governing document in the form of 'the Constitution,' is an apt model of 'nation state' to be imitated and followed. The Parliament of India, having its origin from the Constitution of India, is the supreme legislative body which reflects the representative democracy elected by an adult suffrage in a free and fair election in tune with the constitutional principles. The literature on Parliament, its working and functioning is in abundance, however, there was a vacuity in the existing pool of literatures (treatises, books, compendium, cases and materials etc. on the working and functioning of the Parliament) which covers all the three important aspects i.e. powers, functions and privileges. This book is the modest attempt to fill the existing vacuum in the world of academia. The Parliament of India is a magnificent manifestation of the democratic ethos and it is the repository of the constituent power which occupies central position in the Indian democratic polity.

From the earliest times of their existence all societies have had law. This is a self-evident truth which requires no proof. No society, whether human or animal, can be conceived of without any norms for its organization and operation. While the biologists are engaged in understanding the laws of animal world wocial scientists, especially lawyers, have recorded from the very early times the laws that have regulated ro guided human activity within the society. Among them a class of legal thinkers in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries has been categorized as historical jurists. From the historical evolution of law they have tried to propound certain universal propositions. For example, Friedrich Carl von Savigny of Germany from his study of Roman and German laws drew the conclusion that laws are not made but found which evolve with a society like its language and the best source of law is custom and not legislation. Similarly Sir Henry Sumner Maine, the Law Member of the Governor-General's Council in India from 1862 to 1869 is known for his several legal propositions of general application laid down among others in his Ancient Law (1861). He drew special attention to the legal developments in India, albeit his conclusions about law in India vis-a-vis the West were not encouraging to us. Besides this category of legal thinkers legal historians around the world have traced the evolution of law in different societies from the beginning of those societies or as far in the past as the history of those societies goes. Definitely the laws in the beginning of the societies were as simple and rudimentary as were the societies. Laws have grown with the growth of the societies. This evolutionary process establishes evident relationship between law and society that as the society changes laws also change even though law has also been an instrument of social change.
