Abstract
The neglect by Indian and Australian lawyers of each other is as tragic as it is puzzling. It is tragic because it represents a lost opportunity for two common law countries, which are federations, which live by the rule of law, which are governed under democratic, parliamentary constitutions and which, in their different ways, protect fundamental human rights and basic freedoms. Australia, like India has a most creative and professional law reform system. Most law reform in Australia is achieved through the political process, i.e. through the initiatives of government and the public service. Two countries sharing so many historical, linguistic, constitutional and legal links, such as Australia and India, should have more connection than they have
