Synopsis This volume presents a collection of some important rulings of the Supreme Court of India on the concepts, thoughts and institutions linked to ancient India and Indian civilization. These rulings bring out the endeavours of constitutionalism in India to acknowledge, understand and recognize the legitimate, yet hidden and unexpressed, urges of ‘traditional’ India. And that is precisely the reason why these rulings of the highest judiciary have been compiled, critiqued and presented as a compendium for demonstrating the strenuous endeavours of constitutional India to find its roots in traditional India.
