Abstract

In 'South Asia, the British Empire, and the Rise of Classical Legal Thought: Toward a Historical Ontology of the Law', Faisal Chaudhry delves into the legal history of colonial governance in South Asia, spanning the period from 1757 to the early 20th century. He traces a notable shift in the way sovereignty, land control, and legal rectification were conceptualized, particularly after 1858.
