Most of UPSC aspirants and rank holders also suggest this pretty one. If you interested in polity and governance you love this madly . The way of article and constitution development explained in that way we can easily find and remember line by line. Yes! book has missing some topics when I was preparation 2 questions are came out of the book. After next updated has those. Some people says that Laxmi kanth polity book is religious textbook for the UPSC aspirants. Yes everyone accept that.

This is a very good book on polity. Syllabus is divided into small chapters ranging between 4-6 pages for easier understanding, without feeling the stress of completing long chapters. I would recommend this book to anyone reading polity for the first time. I never liked the subject but the book helped me develop an interest in the subject. References and case studies are also mentioned. A few things might need to be looked into on the net but that would comprise less than 5% of the syllabus.

I, however, have a complaint against the seller as the delivery man delivered the product at the wrong address. The recipient was kind enough to call me up and hand over the product. Such issues need to be looked into especially in the case of prepaid orders.
