Synopsis

The book argues that even though rights exist within legal/constitutional provisions, there is little agreement on how to reconcile contradictions owing to their conflicting and competing nature. It focuses on a distinctive vantage point to navigate intersectionality and diversity within this heterogeneous terrain.
