The crisis of the Indian legal system

"new conceptualization of religion as a community, an aggregate of individuals united by a formal definition and given characteristics based on qualified data" (p. 84). Many Punjabi Hindus, Jones argues, thus increasingly saw "religious communities" as competing political interest groups, and they accordingly used the census, in their own turn, to advance the claims of the "Hindu community" at the expense of others. This was, in itself, a major transformation of the political meaning of "religion." Jones' work suggests clearly the importance of understanding census definitions in using the census, a point the other contributors are also well aware of, but his essay suggests, in addition, that the problem of census definitions is one that can only be understood fully in the context of historical process and in light of the developing political and ideological structure of British rule. This book is, in fact, full of tantalizing suggestions about the relationship between the census and the structure of British rule, but these are rarely developed or explored. This is unfortunate not only because it limits the value of the book in conveying a historical understanding of the British Indian census, but also because it limits our ability to understand the ideological and political implications of the tradition of social science research in India of which we, the users of the census, as much as the census itself, are inevitably a part. In the end, such an understanding is as important as an understanding of statistics if one is to become, as Frank Conlon puts it, a "scholar who counts."
