  We study local-realistic inequalities, Bell-type inequalities, for bipartite
pure states of finite dimensional quantum systems -- qudits. There are a number
of proposed Bell-type inequalities for such systems. Our interest is in
relating the value of Bell-type inequality function with a measure of
entanglement. Interestingly, we find that one of these inequalities, the
Son-Lee-Kim inequality, can be used to measure entanglement of a pure bipartite
qudit state and a class of mixed two-qudit states. Unlike the majority of
earlier schemes in this direction, where number of observables needed to
characterize the entanglement increases with the dimension of the subsystems,
this method needs only four observables. We also discuss the experimental
feasibility of this scheme. It turns out that current experimental set ups can
be used to measure the entanglement using our scheme.
