On September 2, 2015, Vice President Hamid Ansari presented a book titled Globalization, Democratization, and Distributive Justice. Mool Chand Sharma, a law professor at Delhi University who is also a member of India's 20th Law Commission, wrote the book.

The book mentions the Employment Guarantee Act, the Right to Education Act, and the Food Security Act. It also claims that recent economic and fiscal measures such as the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax, financial inclusion programs, and other efforts such as Make in India, Digital India, Skill India, and the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan might act as a catalyst in this respect.

The author also emphasizes the need of pushing the concept of Distributive Justice beyond rhetoric and ensuring that increasing expectations do not become frustrated, leading to cynicism against the system. It also argues that none of these can be accomplished without long-term high growth.

The goal of this book is to discover a means to strike the right balance between rising paradoxes and contradictions while also enhancing the polity's and institutions' trust in democracy and distributive justice.

History demonstrates that extraordinary causes frequently alter the path of events. There are four such factors altering today's globe, which have been referred to as 'globalization forces' several times. The first is the movement in economic gravitation away from Europe and America and toward Asia. The second factor is the speed with which the technology revolution is having an influence. The third driver is demography, and the fourth is the incredible interconnectedness of commerce, capital, people, and information.

These four factors have accelerated and nourished each other, resulting in significant changes in nations, civilizations, and individuals'economic, political, social, and cultural lives. Societies that are unable to adjust to these rapid changes are at risk of collapsing. Without a question, these massive shifts have resulted in a slew of paradoxes and conundrums.

Capturing these momentous shifts and the tilt in history's direction as a result of these influences. Globalization, democratization, and distributive justice seek to strike a right balance between rising paradoxes and inconsistencies while also enhancing the polity's and institutions' trust in democracy and distributive justice.
