handle is hein.journals/jindlas7 and id is 1 raw text is: JOURNAL OF INDIAN LAW AND SOCIETY Volume VII 2016 FOREWORD 'Paayas Pandit The Journal of Indian Law and Society was established with the purpose of encouraging interdisciplinary scholarship within the law and society frame- work. The recent few years have been characterised by increased conversation and debate on the ideas of freedom and rights. As such, we are honoured to present this issue where the theme of rights has been examined through a mul- titude of socially pertinent issues. The issue also contains a transcript of the Twelfth Keshab Chandra Basu Memorial Lecture delivered by Dr. Prabhat Patnaik, and a book review of Dr. Mrinal Satish's Discretion, Discrimination and the Rule of Law. In a particularly edifying lecture, Dr. Prabhat Patnaik emphatically argued for the recognition of a set of fundamental economic rights in India. In doing so, he located a constitutional 'contradiction' that can be traced back to the debates of the Constituent Assembly - while the promulgation of the Constitution heralded equality in political life, inequality continued to define the social and economic life of Indians. He further addressed the tendentious relationship between democracy and neo-liberalism and how this contributes to inequality of wealth in society. Dr. Patnaik also defends his economic rights model against arguments based on the unfettered operation of the free market economy and the potential of trickle-down economics. Paayas Pandit is a fourth year NUJS law student and served as an editor in the JILS zog-I9 Board.
