Government
and Politics
MDSC 2A
Learning Objectives
This course aims to familiarize students with constitutional government and nature of politics
in India and the relationship between the two. It focusses on the originary moment of the
Indian Republic through an understanding of the philosophy and the features of the
Constitution while demonstrating how the processes of state formation and nation making
coincided with constitution-making and the interlacing between the two. The course also
introduces students to the institutions of the state, the constitutional rules governing them and
the political trajectory of their evolution. The course then proceeds by way of familiarity with
varied political processes that have dominated the nature of Indian politics including
reflections on the development paradigm followed by the Indian state and a critical
perspective on the character of Indian state itself. While focusing on the constitutional
framework and design laid down for governance, the course delves deeper into the political
processes through which a divergent space for actual politics is carved out, in India.
Learning outcomes
On successful completion of the course, students would demonstrate:
• Understanding of the Indian Constitution, its basic features and the rights and duties
of the citizens as well as the constitutional obligations of the state
• Knowledge of state institutions in India, the constitutional provisions governing them
and actual their working
• Understanding into the nature of Indian society and its relationship with politics
through the prism of caste, class, gender, religion, etc.
• Knowledge of party system and political parties in India
• Awareness of the development debates in India and its relationship with the social
movements
