The Little Book of Indian Constitution – Jain Book Agency, Pocket Size (Reprint 2026)

Jain Book Agency's The Little Book of Indian Constitution is a pocket-size hardbound guide to the fundamentals of the Constitution of India — small enough to carry in a bag or a coat pocket, sturdy enough to survive being carried every day, and written to be understood rather than merely consulted.

This is the Reprint 2026. The cover carries the National Flag, the State Emblem, the Lotus, the Banyan, the Ashoka Chakra and the Peacock — the national symbols — which, together with the hardbound pocket format, make it as much a presentation piece as a working book.

What it covers

• The Preamble — and what sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic and republic mean in its text.
• Fundamental Rights — equality before the law, the six freedoms, protection of life and personal liberty, protection against exploitation, freedom of religion, cultural and educational rights of minorities, and the right to constitutional remedies.
• Fundamental Duties — the eleven duties of every citizen under Article 51A.
• Directive Principles of State Policy — and how they relate to the Fundamental Rights.
• The structure of the Constitution — the Union and State executives, Parliament and the State Legislatures, the Supreme Court and the High Courts, the division of powers between the Union and the States, elections, and the amending power.
• Key Articles — the provisions most often cited, quoted and asked about, gathered where they can be found quickly.

Why this book

• Genuinely pocket-size — it fits in a shirt pocket, a handbag or a laptop sleeve, so it travels to the classroom, the coaching centre and the court.
• Hardbound, with a stitched, durable binding built for repeated handling.
• Written in plain language for quick learning and revision, rather than in the register of a commentary.
• Ideal for revision — the compact treatment makes a full pass through the subject possible in a single sitting.
• A natural gift for Republic Day, Constitution Day (26 November), convocations and civic functions.

Who should buy this book

• Competitive examination aspirants — UPSC, State PSC, SSC, Banking and other recruitment examinations, where Indian Polity is a standing part of the general studies paper.
• School and college students reading Civics, Political Science or Indian Polity.
• Law students wanting a compact revision aid alongside a full constitutional law textbook.
• Advocates, government servants and journalists who want the essentials to hand without carrying a full bare act.
• General readers who simply want to know what the Constitution says about their rights and duties.
