The Political Institutions and Theories of the Hindus: A Study in Comparative Politics c3.13

c3.13

Hindu political theory, the second theme of the treatise, does not seem to have been dealt with in its philosophical bearings by any writer in the Indian languages nor in English, French and German. The short sections of the book in which this subject is treated might easily be expanded into independent monographs. It has been aimed here mainly to suggest new lines of inquiry. Notwithstanding much work done in "private law" owing to administrative necessity it may be mentioned *en passant* that the legal *philosophy* of the Hindus is still a virgin field.
