More about the book

The book delves into the historical context of British colonial governance in India, focusing on the creation of a penal code to reconcile conflicting legal systems. Initiated by the East India Company in 1834, the Indian Law Commission, led by Thomas Babington Macaulay, sought to establish a unified legal framework influenced by notable legal theorists and the Code Napoleon. This volume is a reprint of the original 1837 text, providing insight into the legal challenges and reforms during a pivotal period in Indian history.
