Covering the earliest Sanskrit rulebooks through to the
codification of 'Hindu law' in modern times, this interdisciplinary
volume examines the interactions between Hinduism and the law. The
authors present the major transformations to India's legal system
in both the colonial and post colonial periods and their relation
to recent changes in Hinduism. Thematic studies show how law and
Hinduism relate and interact in areas such as ritual, logic,
politics, and literature, offering a broad coverage of South Asia's
contributions to religion and law at the intersection of society,
politics and culture. In doing so, the authors build on previous
treatments of Hindu law as a purely text-based tradition, and in
the process, provide a fascinating account of an often neglected
social and political history.
