Political Obligation

.............................................................................................................................
Description
Man, once, was a 'social animal', but he evolved into a 'civilized and' and now he is a 'politico-economic man' in a 'welfare state'. State has its 'political obligation' and uses its 'authority' to implement the 'laws of land' with 'legitimacy'. This volume deals with all issues and theories related to the subject of 'political obligation'. No text-book writer can claim originality of thought as the topics have to be explained basing on the prescribed syllabus and references. The author humbly states that this text is prepared basing on the ^syllabus of the Bar Council of India and the syllabi of different universities. The author is grateful to the authors and publishers of the references. The author expresses his profound gratitude to Allahabad Law Agency for publishing this book in an attractive form. Suggestions from the readers for the improvement of this volume are welcome and will be gratefully acknowledged.
