#1 unbeliveable they have to do this. I forget, which century is this?

#2 It's grand that they are doing it at all. Remember that Indian jurisprudence came to a screeching halt after independence from Britain. So they ended up with a legal system half British/half Indian, partly frozen in the 1940s, and with the Indian version of socialism mixed in, in convoluted ways.

With Bush opening up India like Nixon did China, all sorts of new ideas are flooding in. It is also of great help that their PM is a Sikh.

#3 Actually several Justices of the US Supreme Court have visted India. They have had consultations with Indian Supreme Court Justices and decisions of the USSC have been cited in judgements of the Indian courts. They are not binding of course but the reasoning behind them (Scalia's arguments etc) carry great weight.
