| Description | The Dalapathi system, or the village police, is currently an informal system of law and security in rural South India. Although previously a formal system, recognised by the Karnataka Village Defense Parties Act, 1964, the recent repeal of the act (2004) has changed its status once again. It is important to note that, despite these institutional changes, forms of the village police system have existed since ancient times, survived the colonial rule and continue to organically exist today. |
