Law Presidential Legislation in India The Law and Practice of Ordinances Shubhankar Dam India has a parliamentary system. Yet the president has authority to occasionally enact legislation (or ordinances) without involving parliament. This book is a study of ordinances at the national level in India centered around three themes. Firstly, how an artifact of British constitutional history, over time, became part of India's legislative system. Secondly, how, when, and why presidents resorted to ordinances in postindependent India. Thirdly, it analyzes a range of ordinance-related questions, including some that are yet to be judicially adjudicated. In the process, it explains why much of the Indian Supreme Court's analyses are mistaken, and what should take its place.

The book explains why the fate of parliamentary reforms may be tied to the reform of this provision for ordinances. Standing at the intersection of constitutional law and political science, Presidential Legislation in India offers a new frame through which to understand executive's legislative powers both in parliamentary and presidential systems.

History Sites of Asian Interaction

Religious Pluralism and Values in the Public Sphere

Ideas, Networks and Mobility

Lenn E. Goodman

Tim Harper & Sunil Amrith (Eds.)

Does tolerance require us to deny our deep differences or give up claims to truth, to trade our received traditions for skepticism or relativism? Cultural philosopher Lenn E. Goodman argues that we can respect one another and learn from one another's ways without either sharing them or relinquishing our own.

This book sheds light on the history of political and religious globalization in modern Asia, transcending both national and imperial boundaries, while expanding the range of methodologies and sources brought to bear on studying Asia’s modernity. It illuminates how ideas travelled across Asia, and how they changed in the process.
