Description
In this book a well-known historian offers a critical study of a new aspect of modern Indian history: the gradual introduction of English Law into India from the advent of the East India Company till the culmination of the period of codification in the closing years of the nineteenth century.
Special stress has been laid on the impact of English Law on administration, economy, society and constitutional development. New light has been thrown not only on the development of legal, judicial and constitutional systems but also on the complex historical process of the emergence of modern India.
