Summary, etc. In 1955, India's Protection of Civil Rights Act went into effect. Some gains have been made under it, but, in most of rural India where the majority of Untouchables live, its promise remains largely unfulfilled. The reasons for this legislative failure are the subject of the inquiry undertaken by Professor Khosla in this brilliant, unique book.<br/>Professor Khosla is convinced that positive changes have taken place, but he believes that the most important are operating at subterranean psycho logical levels. They may be attributed less to the intervention of legal processes and more to the diffusion of certain ideas associated with the legislation and the activation of latent demands for human dignity and equality. There are many lessons to be learned from this study by lawyers everywhere, for virtually every community on our planet is involved in process of social and psychopersonal change under governmental stimulus.<br/><br/>Despite the human misery it must explore, this is an optimistic book. For all of its meticulous method and scrupulous use of data, this is a romantic book. It is animated by a deep belief in the inherent dignity of all people and their unceasing demand for systems of public order which permit that dignity to flourish. It believes that law, taught and applied in an appropriate jurisprudential frame, can make a difference. Dr. Khosla has made a contribution to the literature of a scientific and policy-directed study of law. At the same time, he has offered us a luminous testament of the abiding quest of individual human beings for dignity and freedom.
