520 |a "It has long been contended that the Indian Constitution of 1950, a document in English created by elite consensus, has had little influence on India's greater population.

This remarkable legal process was led by individuals on the margins of society, and Rohit De looks at how drinkers, smugglers, petty vendors, butchers, and prostitutes--all despised minorities--shaped the constitutional culture."
