abstract
Ancient India boasted a rich intellectual tradition, producing profound philosophical and legal systems. Among these, Mimamsa and Nyaya, two schools of thought, offer sophisticated frameworks for legal interpretation and reasoning. While modern jurisprudence, often influenced by Western traditions like those of Maxwell, has its merits, the ancient Indian systems provide a compelling alternative, rooted in deep philosophical insights and rigorous logical analysis.
