Contents:
Frontmatter -- Preface -- Contents -- Introduction -- Muslims among non-Muslims -- Regulating diversity within the empire -- Cultural diversity, deviance, public law and criminal justice in the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation -- The qazi, the dharmadhikari and the judge -- Beyond diversity -- Legal diversity – or the relative lack of it – in early modern Sweden -- Beyond dharmashastras and Weberian modernity -- Constitutional law and diversity in the French Revolution -- Contributors -- Index
Summary: Of late, historians have been realising that South Asia and Europe have more in common than a particular strand in the historiography on "the rise of the West" would have us believe. In both world regions a plurality of languages, religions, and types of belonging by birth was in premodern times matched by a plurality of legal systems and practices. This volume describes case-by-case the points where law and social diversity intersected.
