About the Book

"Shambhunath Pandit: A Critical Examination of the First Indian Judge on His Bicentenary" by Chinmoyee Pandit Datta and Amaleschandra Datta offers an insightful and detailed exploration of the life and legacy of Shambhunath Pandit, the first Indian judge. As we mark the bicentenary of his birth, this book serves as a tribute to his contributions to the judicial system in India, as well as his role in shaping modern legal thought during the colonial era.

The book takes a critical approach to understanding Shambhunath Pandit's life, delving into his career, values, and the social and political context of his time. It highlights his pioneering work as an Indian judge, breaking new ground in an era dominated by British rule, and examines how his actions and decisions shaped the trajectory of the Indian judicial system.

Through a detailed and well-researched narrative, the authors not only illuminate the accomplishments of Pandit but also assess the challenges he faced in a legal system that was often biased and colonial in its approach. The book is a rich resource for anyone interested in the history of Indian law, the independence movement, or the personal struggles of individuals who played key roles in the nation's journey towards independence.

"Shambhunath Pandit" is more than just a biography; it is a critical reflection on the life of an exceptional individual who remains an important figure in the history of India’s legal and judicial development. This book will appeal to historians, law enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the untold stories of India’s independence and the people who shaped it.
