What is justice ?


Since about 80% people of the world, including India, are poor and suffering from a host of social and economic evils, such as unemployment, malnutrition, lack of healthcare, good education, housing and discrimination, etc justice can have one, and only one meaning, that is, abolition of poverty and the other social and economic evils.

And this is possible only by creating a social order in which everyone gets proper employment and incomes, food, healthcare, good education, housing, recreation and opportunities for developing one's personality and talents, and there is no discrimination or oppression of women, minorities or on the basis of race, caste region or language.

This is the only meaning justice can have. And those who genuinely and sincerely fight for creating such a social order I regard as patriots who love their country.
