In Bengal, a shift in the mindset of the educated elite towards governance in the last quarter of the nineteenth century indicated a new certainty about their self-identity as colonised subjects. Against this background, the present work investigates the class antagonism between the bhadralok— the privileged, literate, and self-reflective social group, and the chhotolok—the underprivileged class, as they faced the colonial state and its different ideas of legality and sovereignty in colonial Bengal.

The book addresses a fundamental discursive discontinuity when the Bengali bhadralok sought to claim a new position of the aware and good legal subject. It also underlines the development of a new cultural language of morality and the rule of law.
