This book explores the legal culture of the Parsis, or Zoroastrians, an ethnoreligious community unusually invested in the colonial legal system of British India and Burma. Rather than trying to maintain collective autonomy and integrity by avoiding interaction with the state, the Parsis sank deep into the colonial legal system itself. From the late eighteenth century until India's independence in 1947, they became heavy users of colonial law, acting as lawyers, judges, litigants, lobbyists, and legislators. They de-Anglicized the law that governed them and enshrined in law their own distinctive models of the family and community by two routes: frequent intra-group litigation often managed by Parsi legal professionals in the areas of marriage, inheritance, religious trusts, and libel, and the creation of legislation that would become Parsi personal law. Other South Asian communities also turned to law, but none seems to have done so earlier or in more pronounced ways than the Parsis.

Motilal and Jawaharlal Nehru were both prominent Indian men in their own right, Motilal as a widely successful civil lawyer and a popular political figure, and Jawaharlal as a firm nationalist leader and possible heir of the Mahatma. This book discusses Motilal's life and achievements, and examines the first four decades of Jawaharlal's life. It shows that while the father-son tandem played different roles in the nationalist struggle of India, their close emotional bonds helped them influence each other
