He uses the right to water and the right to food to illustrate that human rights are never given on a silver platter; giving effect to human rights is always an outcome of a continous struggle to protect human dignity and value. To implement this view of human rights, the book argues, requires going beyond the parliamentary politics of recognising and acknowledging effect to the recognised rights, especially among the poor and marginalised. 26360/MKRI-P/XII-2017 26360/MKRI-P/XII-2017
