This book is an essential read for anyone seeking diverse perspectives on the intersection of rights, justice, and development. The book critically and comparatively examines these issues through Eastern and Western jurisprudence, emphasizing the protection of the “five first rights” as a fundamental precondition for human liberty, justice, and socioeconomic progress. It explores the impact of regressive status quo, deprivation, and the misleading role of econometric models in perpetuating inequalities that suppress the majority population.
Additionally, the book presents the ground realities of developing nations like Nepal, offering comparative insights into different development modalities. It delves into the psychological, social, and habitual imprints of the colonial era, proposing intersectional countermeasures. Introducing the Anti-Deprivation Development Threshold Theory, it advocates for a justice-oriented and human-friendly transformation. The work contributes to a necessary paradigm shift in jurisprudence, emphasizing human rights, social justice, and transformative development within a relevant justice framework.
