Affirmative action in India: an alternative perspective - 2007 - p.3151-157. - 28 Jul

Explanations provided for the necessity of affirmative discrimination are basically fleshed out in two approaches, i.e. forward-looking and backward-looking. A critique of both these approaches is made in this paper followed by the construction of an alternative perspective from ideas derived from recent ethical theories which emphasise cross-time values, narrative perspective, historical context and organic unity. - Reproduced.
