Based on the passage:
Political theorists no doubt have to take 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. Two reasons might account for resistance to repair. One, not only are the roots of injustice buried deep in history, injustice itself constitutes economic structures of exploitation, ideologies of discrimination and modes of representation. Two, the category of historical injustice generally extends across a number of wrongs such as economic deprivation, social discrimination and lack of recognition. This category is complex, not only because of the overlap between a number of wrongs, but because one or the other wrong, generally discrimination, tends to acquire partial autonomy from others. This is borne out by the history of repair in India.

What is the main idea that we can infer from the passage?

What is the main idea that we can infer from the passage?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: It is difficult, if not impossible, to repair every manifestation of historical injustice. The passage discusses historical injustices such as untouchability, noting that they resist repair because their roots are deep, they constitute economic and ideological structures of exploitation, and they involve overlapping wrongs like economic deprivation and social discrimination which acquire partial autonomy. The text explicitly concludes that this complexity is borne out by the history of repair, implying that repairing every manifestation of historical injustice is difficult, if not impossible. Option A is incorrect because the text states theorists *must* take it seriously, not that they haven't. Option B is incorrect as it says they resist repair, not that they are *always beyond* repair. Option C is too narrow as the text mentions multiple structural roots, not just bad economies.
