Description: | Select Guide Rating In an ethnography of terrorism trials in Delhi, the author shows how those charged with terror engage with legal technicalities. The book shows how the ordinary procedures that lie at the heart of the trial are the mode through which human expressiveness and vulnerability emerge in the face of the law. An ethnography of terrorism trials in Delhi, India, this book explores what modes of life are made possible in the everyday experience of the courtroom. Mayur Suresh shows how legal procedures and technicalities become the modes through which courtrooms are made habitable. Where India’s terror trials have come to be understood by way of the expansion of the security state and displays of Hindu nationalism, Suresh elaborates how they are experienced by defendants in a quite different way, through a minute engagement with legal technicalities. |
