  abstract: What explains the choices that India's Supreme Court justices make? Shankar addresses this question by combining a textured qualitative analysis of the constitutional and legal framework, landmark rulings, and dissenting opinions, with a statistical multivariate analysis of cases dealing with civil liberties and social rights. She argues that judges are 'embedded negotiators' who craft judgments to avoid conflict with the political wings, while also remaining mindful of their role as safe keepers of the rights of citizens.
  table of contents: Judges as embedded negotiators -- Institutional norms and memories of the Supreme Court -- The legal framework of preventive detention and anti-terror laws -- Judges, preventive detention, and anti-terror laws -- The Constitution and social rights -- Transforming social rights -- Scaling justice.
