520			_a"Anticolonial movements of the twentieth century generated audacious ideas of freedom. Following decolonization, the challenge was to give an institutional form to those ideas. Through an original account of India's constitution making, Legalizing the Revolution explores the promises, challenges, and contradictions of that task. In contrast to familiar liberal constitutional templates derived from the metropole, the book theorizes the distinctively postcolonial constitution through an innovative synthesis of the history of decolonization and constitutional theory. The first half of the book traces the contentious transition from the tumult of popular anticolonial politics to the ordered calculus of postcolonial governance. The second half explains how major institutions - parliament, judiciary, civil liberties, and property - were formed by that foundational tension. A major contribution to postcolonial political theory, the book excavates the unrealized futures imagined during decolonization. At the same time, through a critical account of the making of the postcolonial constitutional order, it offers keys to understanding the present crisis of that order, including and especially in India"-- _cProvided by publisher.
