thanks for answering. i realised that my questions were a bit obscure, but i was a little hesitant to go into specifics without knowing practically anything.
i am currently pursuing law as a profession. throughout my studies i have come across anglo-saxon law, anglo-saxon legal philosophies and anglo-saxon way of understading the legal system as well as structuring it.
in all the classes of jurisprudence that i had the good fortune of attending the legal systems and studies were anglo-saxon, anglo-saxon, anglo-saxon with a few bits of continetal law thrown in for change and maintaing interest. does not do a great deal for creating and maintaing a perspective.
i would like to clarify my question a bit here. in the english jurisprudece there are various schools of thought which look at law and the legal system in different manner wrt its interaction, effect and development in and on the society. the basic questions that these schools deal with range from the basis of the definition of law to its present course, intended functions and critisisms of the present system among a host of various other issues.
some of these schools are.....the natural law schools, the realist school among others. obviously the basic foundations of these legal schools are similiar to the schools of philosophy and other social topics, but the thinking is from a legal perspective.
the importance of these schools can be gauged from the fact the the principles espoused by these schools become a guiding principle for the law making machinery as well as for the system of validating the laws.
i was hoping that i could get information on the indian legal systems on the above lines along with information on the philosophical systems of india.
here again i would like to emphasie that i understand that it would be highly presumptious of me and indeed any one else to expect that the indian legal system would be on the same lines as the anglo-saxon lawm, but i would like pointers none the less.
and sir it does not matter whether the legal system was in use during the buddhist, hindu or the muslim era. the main issue being that you do not confuse between the law per se with the idea behind it.
thanks in advance yet again.
