Granville Austin's The Indian Constitution: Cornerstone of a Nation, published by Oxford University Press in 1966, is the standard scholarly study of the drafting and character of the Indian Constitution, based on Austin's direct access to the Constituent Assembly's own deliberative records. Its authority rests on that documentary grounding and its long established standing as the foundational academic account of the Constitution's formation. It covers the Constitution's drafting and founding character rather than its later judicial interpretation and amendment history, which needs a separate, more recent legal scholarship source.
