Abstract
This chapter explores the multifaceted and dynamic nature of social justice in Bangladesh in a global context. Historical injustices, economic disparities, and ongoing struggles for communities’ rights and representation at the local, national, and international levels are all germane to the understanding of social justice. When examining social justice in Bangladesh today, or, for that matter, in any other society, one must consider global conditions. This caution is essential in precluding justifications that invoke relativistic arguments. Avoiding the trap of cultural relativism and adhering to global, universal values of rights, fairness, equal justice, and freedom from discrimination will help achieve social justice. This chapter focuses on the durable issues of social justice in Bangladesh and not the ephemeral and everyday ones whcih are subjected to politicization in the ambit of the realpolitik.
