Non-discrimination and the Indian Constitution

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores possibilities of using the constituting power of the constitution to posit a dynamic interpretation of non-discrimination in the law. Stressing the links between non-discrimination and the right to liberty, it suggests that interpretation is not the exclusive preserve of courts but may be crafted by people's movements.
