Description
"The Oxford Handbook of The Indian Constitution contains fifty-six scintillating essays on how India's Constitution has (and has not) worked these past sixty-five years. These essays eloquently capture the tension that exists between traditional legal approaches to a written constitution and the contrary expectations of the people for whose benefit it was framed." - Fail S. Nariman, Senior Advocate, Supreme Court of India - "Indian constitutionalism is one of humanity's great jurisprudential achievements. It is a boisterous and contentious enterprise that strives to endow the planet's largest, most diverse, and most complex democracy with legal form. The Oxford Handbook of the Indian Constitutions is a comprehensive guide to this great adventure. It provides an essential introduction to the multiple and intricate dimensions of this aspiration to legal structure."
