Dharmaśāstra describes phenomena that, in Anglo-American jurisprudence, are associated with courts of equity: the management of religious and charitable trusts; and the guardianship of those who lack legal capacity. Drawing on Sanskrit jurisprudential and philosophical texts, ancient inscriptions, Persian legal documents, colonial-era law reports, and contemporary case law, Equity and Trusts in Sanskrit Jurisprudence demonstrates that India's rulers have drawn on rich and venerable Sanskrit jurisprudential principles of equity and trusts in their efforts to regulate religious and charitable endowments. This book presents the history of India as a history of trusts, revealing how the contemporary law of Hindu religious endowments is subtended by a rich mélange of Sanskritic, Persianate, British, and constitutional jurisprudential principles.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Equity \u0026amp; trusts [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Equity \u0026amp; trusts\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Equity%20\u0026amp;%20trusts%20%5BLNL%5D%22\"\u003eLNL\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52511409537304,"sku":"9780197267875","price":125.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197267875.jpg?v=1786599545","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/equity-and-trusts-in-sanskrit-jurisprudence-hardback-9780197267875","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
