Description
This scholarly work by Pramathanath Bandyopadhyay provides an in-depth examination of international law and customary practices in ancient India. The book traces the development of legal principles governing relations between states, trade, diplomacy, and warfare in the Indian subcontinent.
Drawing from ancient texts, historical records, and philosophical traditions, the author demonstrates how Indian kingdoms established sophisticated legal frameworks for interstate relations centuries before modern international law emerged. The work explores concepts of sovereignty, treaty-making, diplomatic immunity, and the law of war as practiced by ancient Indian rulers and scholars.
This valuable resource bridges the gap between ancient Indian civilization and modern international legal thought, offering historians, legal scholars, and students a comprehensive understanding of how justice and legal customs shaped political interactions in the ancient world.
