Justice
Justice Must Reach The Poor
Justice is when it speaks loudest for the least advantaged in the society. Where the aspiration of a country like India is to achieve social justice for an inclusive growth, it is no longer plausible that the vast majority of the people who are poverty ridden should have unequal access to justice. Yet the poor who are not educated and thus unaware of their rights have not been able to equally access to justice. And, unequal access to justice is justice belied, if not denied. It is in such situation that we need justice to reach the poor.
Or,
Justice is when it speaks loudest for the least advantaged in the society. We call it justice when there is political, social, economic and civil equality in the society and it is enjoyed by the poor and the rich alike. We call it justice when there is equal liberty and fairness in the society and such a social order is felt by the most downtrodden. Yet the poor who are not educated and thus unaware of their rights have not been able to equally access to justice. An unequal access to justice is justice belied, if not denied. It is in such situation that we need justice to reach the poor.
The ethics of individual choices
Is there an ethics of individual choice? What do we choose and what do we not choose concerning certain things that affects our personal and public life directly or indirectly? What ethical and moral question governs our choices?
The dilemma of making choices is something that all of us have encountered more than once in our life.
