A Glossary of Judicial and Revenue Terms, and of Useful words occuring in official ducuments by M.V Durga Prasad , H.H. Wilson
No Reviews
Book Overview
This comprehensive glossary is an authoritative lexicon of legal, fiscal, and administrative terminology drawn from multiple South Asian languages, including Arabic, Persian, Hindustani, Sanskrit, Hindi, Bengali, Oriya, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Malayalam, and others — all in the context of British Indian governance. Each entry helps clarify the meaning of terms as they appear in official proclamations, judicial reports, revenue records, and administrative correspondence from the colonial period.
The work preserves the original structure and scope of H. H. Wilson’s landmark compilation, while later editions (often edited by scholars like Durga Prasad) include updated annotations and expanded coverage to suit modern users. This makes it a valuable tool for understanding the linguistic, historical, and administrative dimensions of South Asian legal tradition.
