One of India’s leading legal scholars, Upendra Baxi’s areas of expertise and writings span the diverse areas of comparative constitutionalism, human rights and its futures, crises of the Indian legal system, and the sociology of Indian law and anthropogenic harm and justice. In 2008, Professor Baxi spent time in Bangalore with the Centre for the Study of Culture and Society (CSCS) and the Alternative Law Forum (ALF) and spoke at length to a group of his former students on key issues affecting India and the world. This meeting was tape-recorded, transcribed and went on to become this monograph.
