Abstract

The views and opinion put forth in the book were generated by the author over seven years of work in the Eastern Himalayan region, both in India and Nepal. She brings the attention of the reader to the existence of legally pluralist societies, governed by a large matrix of— statutory, customary, moral and religious— laws. These societies may be considered “semi-autonomous” as they often govern themselves through their own rules and regulations. They are, however, also subject to the laws made by the state and the central law making bodies. This mix of customary and statutory laws creates complex situations and problems, especially as statutory laws are not often in harmony with local ethos and cultures.
