I have great pleasure in placing this book before the aspirants of the top
administrative services. The book has been written to meet the growing
requirements of the candidates appearing for the Civil Services Examinations
(Preliminary and Main) conducted by the Union Public Service Commission. It
directly and fully covers the Indian Polity section of the paper on General
Studies and is also useful for certain optional subjects like Public
Administration, Political Science, Law, Sociology and Anthropology.
