Courts and Councils: Dispute Settlement in India
- 1981 ----- color ----- 30 min ----- vhs
- Observes: (1) a nyaya panchayat council, recently-legislated, taking two farmers' evidence regarding their dispute; (2) a nandiwalla caste panchayat council, colorfully-turbaned, that shuns formal courts and assigns fines and other penalties according to its own traditions and group consensus; (3) formal court tribunals, requiring trained, black-robed lawyers and judges reflecting the British legacy of "adversarial justice." Contrasts Gandhi's and Ambedkar's views of formal courts and concludes with an Indian Supreme Court justice describing needed judicial reforms.
- Topics: (Law, South Asian Studies)
