Bandung, State-making, and Citizenship in South Asia
The Final Communiqué of the Bandung conference included a set of ten principles that emphasized “respect for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations” and “abstention from intervention or interference in the internal affairs of another country.” 1 In this essay, I examine the impact of these emphases on the domestic law of one of the Bandung states, specifically the law of citizenship in India. Given the significance of state sove…
The Changing Natures of the Medical Register
This article interrogates the relationship between registration, the professions, and modern crises, using the Medical Register as an illustration. We start by surveying briefly the history of the regulation of health workers in the United Kingdom to contextualise the mechanisms of registers and registration. Under the initial model of registration, one could be in or out of the ‘principal list’, and various routes enabled health practitioners to…
Limping Marriages
In this article, I trace the development of domicile as the basis of divorce jurisdiction in English private international law. The maintenance of English domicile became closely related to the retention of ‘white’ identity, with white British subjects who became domiciled in non-white colonies such as India being relegated to racially ambiguous statuses. The domicile rule limited the remedy of divorce to those who were financially well-off and a…
Rahela Khorakiwala, From the Colonial to the Contemporary
In this insightful monograph, Rahela Khorakiwala analyses the manner in which the iconography of three Indian high courts (Calcutta, Bombay, and Madras) influences the judicial spaces as well as the narratives and delivery of justice. The three courts were all established in 1862, although their physical structures were constructed at different points during the late nineteenth century; Khorakiwala is, therefore, interested in exploring their dis…
Building the Nation
The position of the territorially sovereign nation-state as the fundamental building block of the contemporary world order has come under increasing challenge. Historians have long focused on social, cultural, economic, and technological factors to examine the constructed nature of the nation-state. In this article, I explore the role of law, and specifically the concept of sovereignty, in the creation of the unified spatial entity constituting t…
Jousting Over Jurisdiction
The article examines the relationship between colonialism and international law by focusing on late nineteenth century debates surrounding the sovereignty of the “princely states” of colonial South Asia. The princely states were ruled by indigenous rulers and were not considered to be British territory, but remained subject to British “influence;” as a result, there were numerous controversies over their legal status. During the course of jurisdi…
