His thirteen articles, covering a wide range of issues in Indian society, explore the operation of modern Indian law, and explicate the ways in which a complex body of formal law accommodates and adjusts itself to local conditions to which it is alien.Galanter, Marc is the author of 'Law and Society in Modern India', published 1990 under ISBN 9780195622942 and ISBN 0195622944.
