Though property rights and ownership are said to be a cornerstone of modern law, in the Indian case they are often a spectral presence. Kapila offers a detailed study of paradigms where proprietary relations have been erased, denied, misappropriated. The book examines three forms of negation, where the Indian state de facto adopted doctrines of terra nullius (in the erasure of indigenous title), res nullius (in acquiring museum objects), and, controversially, corpus nullius (in denying citizens ownership of their bodies under biometrics). The result is a pathbreaking reconnection of questions of property, exchange, dispossession, law, and sovereignty. 606 $aProperty 606 $aProperty$xSocial aspects 606 $aSovereignty$xMoral and ethical aspects 607 $aIndia 615 0$aProperty. 615 0$aProperty$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aSovereignty$xMoral and ethical aspects. 676 $a346.5404 700 $aKapila$b Kriti$01348942 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645996303321 996 $aNullius$93086766 997 $aUNINA
