520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc Indian legal scholarship operates as a self-referential system where academic articles appear in merely 0.65% of the Supreme Court judgments. Simultaneously, 94% of judicial citations reference foreign journals, and 88% of university-recommended Indian journals are predatory. Institutional pressures reward publication volume over empirical rigour, which confines scholars to textual analysis, leaving systemic discrimination, registry manipulation, and bail disparities unexamined. The discipline requires immediate reorientation towards courtroom ethnography and quantitative methods.- Reproduced
