Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating and insightful comparison of the judicial systems of Java and British India during the early 19th century. The author, drawing on firsthand experience and historical records, illuminates the nuanced differences between these systems and their effects on the respective populations. The book delves into the distinct approaches to criminal justice and police practices, highlighting the Dutch sensitivity to the importance of personal dignity and social hierarchy in Javanese society. It contrasts this with the British emphasis on equality before the law, which the author argues, often fails to account for the complexities of Native customs and sensibilities. Through a detailed exploration of the different courts and their procedures, the book exposes the subtle yet profound ways in which these contrasting legal philosophies shaped the lives of the Javanese and Indians. It ultimately reveals how the Dutch, in their efforts to maintain order and stability, developed a judicial system that was not only effective, but also more respectful of local traditions. This book provides a valuable historical perspective on the evolution of legal institutions in colonial Asia, and offers a compelling analysis of the tensions between Western notions of justice and indigenous social structures. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
