Read the following passages and answer the question, Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only.Political theorists no doubt have to take a history of injustice, for example, untouchability, seriously. The concept of historical injustice takes note of a variety of historical wrongs that continue into the present in some form or the other and tend to resist repair.
