Course Description

How does this course relate to the programme curriculum: Does it develop on a prior course in the programme or is it a foundational or standalone course? This course develops on prior courses generally. This course includes various legal themes such as Constitutional Law, Human Rights Law, Family Law etc. and some important but ignored laws or legal aspects therein that address caste. Even if such laws are taught in the classroom, they are usually devoid of the radicalness that the thinkers behind these laws embodied, leading to an incomplete reading of such laws. The social context behind these laws, as articulated by Dr. Ambedkar mainly is thus the focus in this course.
