520 _aThis collection of critical essays focusses on the repressive and emancipative potential of Indian legal order-conceived as legislation, administration, ad judication and enforcement processes in relation to the Indian impoverished. The roles of the law receive scant attention in the burgeoning literature on 'poverty' in India. This volume aspires to redress the lack. The book, while exposing the legal and juristic nightmares of the impover ished, also seeks to resurrect the constitutional dream for them. The volume is intended for students and teachers in all law courses, since the constitutional perspective on 'poverty' extends to all the domains of the Indian Legal order. It should, of course, be useful specifically for the law and poverty courses. It is also hoped that the analyses in the volume would assist teaching and learning in allied social and human sciences.
