Law and Identity in Colonial South Asia: Parsi Legal Culture, 1772–1947 - Studies in Legal History
Sharafi, Mitra (University of Wisconsin, Madison)
This book explores the legal culture of the Parsis, or Zoroastrians, an ethno-religious community unusually invested in the colonial legal system of British India and Burma. From the mid-nineteenth century until India's independence in 1947, Parsis became heavy users of colonial law, acting as lawyers, judges, litigants, lobbyists, and legislators.
