The quest for justice is universal and is part of every person’s being. We have seen many countries, communities’, cultures and individuals finding or losing their existence in the name of justice and injustice respectively. The world has also noticed an inextricable link between injustice and conflict in the economic, social, political, religious as well as environmental spheres. In the liberal framework that primarily talks about individual justice, these realms are seen in isolation from each other leading to a narrow view of injustices. The conflicts due to injustices in the present liberal capitalistic world have been escalating also because of a rising eschewing of morals and ethics along with increasing chasm between reason and emotion, mind and soul, science and art and individual and community. It is because of such binaries embedded in the liberal framework that a truly just order is difficult to be established.
