BIG APPRECIATION FOR ILI AND JILI

Sunil Khilnani, Vikram Raghavan, Arun K.Thiruvengadam(Ed.) Comparative Constitutionalism in South Asia, (Oxford University Press, 2013) in its introduction pg-5 write:

Within South Asia itself, one institution that helped to advance scholarship on South Asian law was the Indian Law Institute. Founded in 1956, it quickly became a dynamic centre for research and publications on comparative law in India, South Asia, Southeast Asia and its house publication. The Journal of the Indian Law Institute, established a reputation as one of the leading scholarly journals in and about the region. It is striking that the initial issues of the journal featured several pieces by scholars exhorting the need for comparative lessons on various aspects of the law. [1] In addition to South Asian scholars, scholars from other regions who focussed on South Asian law also published in the journal; Gledhill, for instance, was a regular international contributor to its pages.[2][Emphasis added]
