In order to understand what constitutes real estate and how to manage real estate transactions, it is paramount that one understands its basic fabric. That basic fabric is the essence of the book, which is a collection of real-life situations faced by common people when undertaking real estate transactions. It provides historical perspective for the current legislations and their evolution from the 19th century British India through seventy five years of independent India to the 21st century.
