Call for Chapters: Edited Book on Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Ideas on Jurisprudence

Contetnt:

Dear Sir/Ma’am,              

I would like to invite you to contribute a chapter to an edited book, which will be published in the first half of 2023 by a renowned international/national publisher.

CONCEPT NOTE

Very few people are aware that Dr. Ambedkar's views on land ownership conflict with western law regarding ownership, and that his writings helped state governments throughout the post-independence era introduce land reforms. His concept of welfare state democracy contradicts popular majoritarian democracy. He desired that key industries be solely owned and managed by the government, and prior to liberalisation in 1991, almost all key industries were solely owned and managed by the government. He never agreed with Savigny's Volksgeist theory. The law, according to this theory, is based on the general will or free will of the people. The aforementioned concepts are indicative in nature and are inspired by the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's writings. Because of these factors, I felt compelled to compile a book containing Dr. Ambedkar's core legal principles. It is impossible for one person to be an authoritative source on every area of law. Therefore, I am inviting your unpublished work in the form of a chapter on any of the following but not limited to these themes.

Dr. Ambedkar’s ideas on Constitutional Morality
