A bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said it will hear the plea on 28 March to decide whether the matter should be referred to a Constitution bench.
The conventional wisdom is that if a govt fails to improve the lot of the voters, it is punished. Kumar presided over an economic disaster for 20 years and was re-elected by a landslide.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.
Bihar is blessed with a land more fertile for revolutions than any in India. Why has it fallen so far behind then? Constant obsession with politics is at the root of its destruction.
Injustice is felt by individual mind. Even when we say a section of society feels injustice it only means majority in that section feel so. The concept of justice in our courts is mainly about individuals.
With tribal mentality people of one group want to punish individuals of other group and derive satisfaction by punishing the weak from that group for the crimes done by the strong . Abductions, tortures and killings of inocent children for punishing members of their families is often found to be for revenge . What about the injustice to the child? But punishing somebody by punishing members of his family is found a strong motive in many social crimes.
It is understandable when social groups get angry by the injustices they have to suffer due to collective behaviour of other dominant groups. Demand for reservations is justified in such cases. But it is also necessary to understand that individuals, who find they are discriminated on the basis of the implementation of that policy, will feel injustice is done to them. The race in demanding reservations by communities who have many families for many generations who enjoy all the benefits of elite class, such as Marathas, Patels etc., arises due to this feeling of injustice in the youth of these castes.
The creation of another 10 percent reservations for economically backward students from so called forward community appears to be an effort to reduce the anger at the injustice the reservation policy creates.
There has to be some principle to strike a right balance to the competitive demands from different segments of the society.
Finally, is it possible to resolve the conflict in the idea of justice when a person sees that law for social justice results in injustice to her/ him as individual?
Indian politicians and social commentators are instigating a race towards embracing “backwardness”. Extremely powerful caste groups are now categorised as backward. Marathas, Yadavs, Gounders, Ahirs etc are a typical examples. Why people want to be called “socially & educationally backward” defies common sense. The only motivating factor being “preferential benefits” which are bestowed on those declared “backward”. Most political peddlers of “backwardness” from TN, Bihar etc suffer from self-cultivated hatred of the so-called “forward castes” simply because they want to retain the tag of backwardness. The Indian media moghuls, editors and commentators have maintained studied silence and refused to play a leadership role in discouraging such obnoxious tendencies. Indeed, some media channels on the contrary have openly incited hatred against the so-called Forwards. Numerous such articles can be found in the Wire & the Print as well. Dilip Mandal is doing exactly that.
Well said! But will the left-(ill)-liberals (LL) listen? They want to keep dividing Hindus so that minorities can be united along with Hindu castes to keep other Hindus in check permanently. That has been the LL agenda for the past many decades and of the British looters before that.
You have made a strong case for social justice clauses not to have been included in the constitution. Congratulations. Many scholars of constitutional law agree with you. Peoples’ circumstances change, and delivery of welfare should be allowed to evolve over time. Basic rights do not have the same issue, and thus have a rightful place in a country’s constitution.
