Abstract

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to identify the responsibility of the growing private sector in India towards society and how it can contribute to the providing social justice in the Indian society. Design/methodology/approach - Only doctrinal method of research has been adopted because of time constraints. Findings - During the course of the research, the hypocritical approach of corporates was revealed, especially in the context. On one hand, the corporates are resisting any legislation which would forcefully push them towards affirmative action; but on the other hand no such initiative has been taken up by them to stop the government from doing so. Research limitations/implications - Any sort of field study was impracticable. Practical implications - At the time of writing, the government's mood is swinging towards passing legislation to‐persuade the corporate sector to participate in providing affirmative action to the lower strata of the society. Originality/value - This is one of the first researches in this area and not many people have actually written about CSR and affirmative action put together.
