Abstract
This book advocates for understanding Indian law through sociological perspectives. Baxi examines how law interacts with power, social hierarchy, institutions, and historical processes, challenging purely formal or doctrinal readings and emphasizing law’s role in shaping—and being shaped by—Indian society.
