Origin and development of legal and political system in India / edited by H.S.Bhatia v.3

The origin and development of legal and poli tical system in India from the ancient days, through the Mughal rule and British raj is an untold story. The ancient and medieval India's legal and political wisdom has re mained clouded because of the widespread notion that India was given a civilised rule of law and sound political administration by the British. Free India is still having, by and large, the legal concepts and administrative procedures left by the English colonists in this country.

This book (in 4 volumes) on the origin and development of legal and political system in India fulfills a long-felt need of knowing our heritage. This pioneer and remarkable treatise digs up a number of hidden landmarks in the legal, political and military history of India, and projects them in their proper pers pective and importance.

These volumes which are the result of many years research and extensive study by the learned author, provide rich rare and authentic source material for a correct appraisal of India's legal and political growth. This may greatly help in devising a legal, constitutional and political system suited to the genius, tradi tions and progress of this country.

Any jurist, student of law, administrator, scholar, political leader, lawyer, judge, legis. lator, military officer and even a layman interested in Indian affairs will find these original, creative and authentic studies highly interesting, revealing and rewarding.

This third volume examines, with the help of some rare documents, the change-over of legal, political, administrative, judicial, mili tary and governmental systems from Indian to the English which presently by and large, operate in India.
