Abstract

Politics is a set of activities that bring people together to make decisions, so that they can stay together as a social group. It can also be said that politics is a process through which individuals get the opportunity to participate in state activities. People have established political parties to advance their views in the majority of nations. Within a party, there are frequently some differences of opinion, but the members cooperate because they believe that by banding together, they can achieve greater political success. Making collective decisions for a group of individuals is a component of politics. The study focuses on comprehending the fundamental theoretical frameworks, practical applications, conceptual vocabulary, as well as the discipline's main subfields of study and connections to other political disciplines. The main objective of this article is to discuss in detail about the Indian political system, the constitutional system of India, the legal system of India and various important political ideals. The study also discusses various political systems, including empirical knowledge specific to a given field, a broader theoretical understanding of various political systems, institutions, and processes, as well as the shifting national and international environments in which these systems work. The study examines the core principles and ethical dilemmas that have been debated in politics throughout history, as well as various moral and ethical frameworks for analyzing and interpreting modern political discourses.
