About the Event

NLSIU’s Socio-Legal Review invites submissions for Volume 21(2), a Special Issue on “Law and Culture.” The volume seeks to explore the evolving interplay between law and culture in South Asia—across domains like cinema, photography, performance art, comedy, state propaganda, censorship, and more.

This issue aims to investigate how legal systems interact with, reflect, suppress, or enable culture—raising critical questions on identity, power, and marginalisation. SLR is particularly committed to amplifying voices from the margins of caste, gender, sexuality, religion, and region, offering a space for fresh, interdisciplinary perspectives.
