520	8		_aExplaining the postcolonial Indian polity by presenting an alternative historical narrative of the British Empire in India and India's struggle for independence, this book follows two strands: firstly, the role of imperial judicial practices and institutions in the making of both the British Empire and the anti-colonial movement under the Congress, with the lawyer as political leader. Secondly, it shows that Gandhi's non-violent resistance movement was anchored not in western discourses of political and legislative freedom but rather in Indic traditions of renunciative freedom.
