| Notes | Chapter 1: Relevance Of Duties Through The Lens Of Gandhi And East-West Jurisprudence -- Chapter 2: Individual and Community Interests: A Critical Analysis with the help of Gandhian Philosophy -- Chapter 3: Individual as the Supreme Consideration: Analysing the Gandhian Philosophy on Rights and Duties -- Chapter 4: Duties—the Building Blocks to Rights -- Chapter 5: Duties—the Building Blocks to Rights. This book reflects on the significance of duties in creating an egalitarian society by collating and contextualizing the relevant literature. It particularly focuses on an appreciation of Gandhi’s views on duty to showcase how they remain pertinent to create a cohesive, responsible and value-based society in the present right-dominated world. A viable solution to the current real world problems could be found in exploring the philosophy on duties and the book provides relevant literature in this regard. It undertakes jurisprudential analysis of duty in a rights-dominated world, identifying the gaps in realising the potential of duty to address the critical issues of the present times. It argues that enforcement of rights depends heavily on the observance of duties and proposes coherence in right-duty relationship. Gandhian thought on duty recognises duty as a precursor to rights and emphasises that the observance of duties guarantees the enforcement of rights. The relevance of duties and Gandhian thoughts on the same is not restricted to India but transcends borders with profound appeal. Gandhian thoughts have become even more relevant in the current times to examine the situation of COVID-19 pandemic, racial discrimination (BLM), environmental crises, digital divide, health care and medical care crises, refugee and migrant labour problems and it can offer promising solutions based on the nuances of social solidarity, self realisation of duties/responsibilities, local governance, compassion and humanity HTTP:URL=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-19-1836-0 |
