Hindu law

About this book

"This book critically analyses the development of Hindu law from the ancient period to its emergence as a postmodern phenomenon in the twenty-first century. The author uses comparative social theory literature to establish that Hindu law must be viewed both as an ancient, constantly evolving conceptual entity and a living legal system. Hindu law has recently experienced a process of conceptual remoulding through the justice-conscious actions of an activist judiciary."--BOOK JACKET.
