Beskrivelse

An important new study which analyses the system of personal law in colonial India, showing how it encouraged gender equality and a better relationship between state and society. By focusing on Hindu law, this illuminating book challenges existing scholarship, showing how - far from being based on traditional values – Hindu law was developed around ideas of liberalism.
