LAW AND DEMOCRACY IN CONTEMPORARY INDIA GEBUNDEN

This book analyses legal orders  actors and democracy in contemporary India  with a particular
focus on the everyday contexts and dynamics of human rights  citizenship and socio-economic
rights and laws.The contributions explore both 'institutionalization from above'  where the
judiciary and legislative body aim to govern people  and 'institutionalization from below' 
where the governed attempt to expand their substantive rights embedded within their everyday
lives. This analysis identifies contact zones between the two directions  which act as spaces
for democratic participation and negotiation. Such a perspective should be useful to both those
who are interested in Indian politics  and anthropologists and sociologists working on dynamics
of laws and rights.
