SYNOPSIS

ABSTRACT :
Many different aspects which are dealt in Ancient India and which are still followed in
International Law will be discussed. Modern International Law, it has therefore been held, is
the outcome, by gradual growth, of a series of enactments by individual nations, of decisions
of individual prize courts, of state papers issued from time to time for the guidance of
officers, and, later, of the decisions of arbitration courts, congresses and conventions. In later
times a shadow of a common superior was in evidence in the Hague Conferences which laid
down rules of war, peace and neutrality, and which the great ‘Powers’ of the world agreed to
obey. But even the rules of The Hague were set at nought in many cases during the last
world-wide conflagration.

LITERATURE REVIEW:
1. International Law And Custom In Ancient India, by Pramathanath
Bandyopadhyay.
This book focuses upon customs and its role in International Law in Ancient India.
2. International Law in Ancient India by S.V.Viswanatha, 1925
This book talks about general history of India and mostly focused upon International
law in ancient India.

HYPOTHESIS :-
This reticence remains unexplained in the comparative literature on international law. India's
history with international relations theories date back to ancient times. Various Hindu texts
from some eight millennia ago passed over to generations by the method of "shruti" and
manuscript later, contain one of the most complete sets of international laws and relations.
"Dharma" remains the central aspect to this discourse.
