Abstract
Upendra Baxi's article, "Alleppey Turmeric Fingers and Arbitral Awards: Spices in the Conflict of Laws," uses a real-life commercial dispute over Alleppey turmeric in the 1950s-60s to critique how Indian courts applied international private law (Conflict of Laws), highlighting No. s like jurisdiction, choice of law, and arbitration enforcement, showing how a simple spice deal exposed deep tensions in India's legal approach to global commerce and sovereignty. It's a classic legal analysis, using a mundane commodity to explore complex international legal principles. Published in the Journal of the Indian Law Institute Vol. 10, No. 1. pg 149-70
