A Shot of Justice

The book is a timely contribution in the context of the sustainable development goals pursued globally and the need for India to re-examine its infant and child mortality reduction policy. The book builds the argument with a strong theoretical framework and political philosophy such as John Rawls' "A Theory of Justice" and "social primary goods" and Amartya Sen's "capability" metric. In addition, this book uses multidisciplinary approach to tackle the issue of demographic and social problems such as high infant mortality persistent over a long period of time. Although the book's focus is on India as a case study, the arguments and policy implications can be replicated in any other context or scenario with high infant and child mortality rates.
