In On the Deficiencies in the Present Administration of Hindu Law (1870), Theodor Goldstucker critiques the British administration of Hindu law in India. Delivered at the East India Association, the paper highlights the inadequacies and inconsistencies in the legal system, especially its failure to effectively integrate Hindu customs and legal practices with British colonial law. Goldstucker argues for a more informed and culturally sensitive approach to administering Hindu law, stressing the importance of understanding traditional Hindu legal principles.
His paper calls for reform and better training for judges, ensuring a fairer and more respectful application of Hindu legal traditions within the colonial system.
