This contribution to "Roundtable: An Exchange with Ronald Dworkin" locates Dworkin's creative legal thought in the context of Indian constitutional, political, & social theories & discusses the following: (1) a comparison between John Locke & Dworkin: (2) a critical review of 12 Dworkinian virtues; (3) the influence of history; (4) differing "textual homes"; (5) moral reasoning of constitutions; & (6) the differences between interpretation & amendment. Both in the US & in India, constitutionalism seeks the production & reproduction of human rights as well as of human "rightlessness." Those without rights need the development of the Dworkinian "sovereign virtue" of "equal concern & respect.". L. A. Hoffman
