Legal Pluralism and Indian Democracy

This book offers a multifaceted look at Northeast India, and the customs and traditions that underpin its legal framework. The book:

¿ charts the transition of traditions from colonial rule to present day,

¿ explores the theoretical context of legal pluralism and its implications,

¿ brings together case studies from across the eight; and

¿ highlights the resilience and relevance of alternative systems of redressal, including conflict resolution and women's rights.

Part of the prestigious 'Transition in Northeastern India' series, this book presents an interesting blend of theory and practice, key case studies and examples to study legal pluralism in multicultural contexts.
