Principles of Hindu and Mohammadan Law is a book written by William Hay MacNaghten in 1860. The book is a comprehensive guide to the legal systems of Hindu and Muslim societies in India during the British colonial rule. It covers various aspects of law, including property, inheritance, marriage, and religious practices. The book provides an overview of the customs and traditions of both religions, along with the legal principles that govern them. It also includes case studies and examples to illustrate the application of these principles in real-life situations. The author, William Hay MacNaghten, was a British civil servant who served as the Governor-General's Agent for the North-West Frontier Province of India.
