Power is the main centre of political science. Therefore, under political science, the concept of power has a great deal of importance. Among western thinkers, Mackiyavalli is regarded as the very first thinker who expressed his views on power. After this, Thomas Hobbs, in his book ‘Leviathan’, gave importance to power in the field of state and politics. The main propogator of modern times Charles Merriam analysed many aspects of power. Then the concept of power was made clear by Catlin, Loswell, Caplan, etc. Catlin, defining power a science in the field of political science, termed politics such a place of competition wherein the people struggle to gain powers.
