Shankar addresses this question by combining a textured qualitative analysis of the constitutional and legal framework, landmark rulings, and dissenting opinions, with a statistical multivariate analysis of cases dealing with civil liberties and social rights. She argues that judges are 'embedded negotiators' who craft judgments to avoid conflict with the political wings, while also remaining mindful of their role as safe keepers of the rights of citizens.  aDescription based on print version record.  aIncludes bibliographical references and index.10aIndia.bSupreme Court. 0aPreventive detentionzIndia. 0aTerrorismzIndiaxPrevention. 0aSocial rightszIndia.08iPrint versionz9780195693201403Oxford scholarship onlineuhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195693201.001.0001  c38488d38488
