JUDGEMENT AND JUSTICE

           JUDGEMENT AND JUSTICE
Is a judgement similar to justice? This is a big question . Is justice also delivered when a judgement is delivered? Or is it possible that a judgement may be devoid of justice? All such questions are less legal and more philosophical . These questions involve technical versus ideological status. Judgement is what has been been done and justice is what ought to be done. Judgement is not inherently justice. It may or may not contain justice, it may or may not deliver justice. These are well recognized positions in modern times and so institutions have been devised and evolved in modern times in forms of appeal, revision and review. If judgment is a synonym of justice what should be the purpose of appeals, revisions and reviews? The very existence of these institutions are proves in themselves that there is no certainty about the presence of justice in a judgement. 
        But then how can we ascertain that finally justice has been delivered by way of a judgement? This complex question has been resolved by designating some institution as ultimate beyond which no appeal, revision or review can be preferred. And arrangement has  nothing to do with existence of certainty of justice rather such an arrangement in forms of an institution is just an institution  with last word which is formed by political masters to cover the political boundary of the political power beyond  which neither specific political power nor the supreme institution of justice can operate. This ultimate or  supreme institution has definitely power of delivering final judgement but there is noT any certainty that such an arrangement can ensure that final judgement ultimately carries final justice as well.
     Hence when a judgement is given by the ultimate institution it must be made open to scrutiny . And hence even a final judgement is not infallible and may be unjust as well. So we can't attach any sense of sacredness to a judgement. This situation also explains two realities. First is that an institution of justice is not autonomous , but it is a political creation and secondly judgement of the apex institution has every probability of being  full of injustice. It's acceptability is not because of being sacrosanct rather because of being last word and that only n a political setting.

भारत की वर्तमान राजनीति और भविष्य के लिए चंद चर्चे।

भारत की वर्तमान राजनीति और भविष्य के लिए चंद चर्चे। जिन धर्मों में धार्मिक परम्पराओं के कारण उपवास का चलन है और दरिद्र को ईश्वर का रूप माना जाता है और इन दोनों परम्पराओं के पालन को मोक्ष अथवा ईश्वर की प्राप्ति का साधन माना जाता है उन धार्मिक समूहों में आर्थिक विकास और समानता के नाम पर लोगों को लामबंद नहीं किया जा सकता है। यही वजह है कि हिन्दू बहुल भारत और नेपाल तथा मुस्लिम बहुल राष्ट्रों में भारी गरीबी, असमानता और  उत्पीड़न मिलता है और विकास और आर्थिक वृद्धि के सवाल आम जनों को उद्वेलित नहीं कर पाते हैं।  ऐसे देशों में जनता को धार्मिक मुद्दों में उलझा देना बहुत ही सरल होता है।       आज भारत के बड़े और प्रबुद्ध मंच पर भाजपा के हिन्दू राजनीति की कठोर आलोचना होती है किंतु चुनावों में भाजपा को पराजित करना लगभग असंभव हो चुका है। इसका सीधा कारण यह है कि आम भारतीय अपने मूल स्वभाव से धार्मिक-कर्मकांडी होता है और आर्थिक समृद्धि के आगे उसे सांस्कृतिक समृद्धि , जो धार्मिकता और कर्मकाण्ड के पुरुत्थान में दिखता है से ज्यादा प्रभावित होता है। सो वह शिक्षा, स्वास्थ्य, रोजगार, आमद...

WE NEED DEMOCRACY

    WE NEED DEMOCRACY All schemes and services are meant to serve the people and so the beneficiaries must have every right to make complaints if there is something wrong in the structure and / or in the implementation of the schemes and services. This right to complain is not a costly privilege but it's is the right and this right is protected when the people have right to free speech and other rights as enshrined in our Constitution. The government  is chosen to provide these services and schemes for their betterment, for improving their living standard and the government has no other business more important than this to do. So the government is bound to entertain the complaints and this obligation is fulfilled only when the Constitutionally protected rights are intact. These rights can be intact and protected only if we have independent judiciary and investigative agencies. Only independent judiciary can arrive at the end of justice which includes the protection of rig...

BEYOND RT MODEL

BEYOND RT MODEL History is a playbook of fierce struggle among the state, the market and the community. There have been some rare periods of balance among them.  Present is also witnessing this fierce struggle. The state is advocating minimum.governsnce  in many parts of the world . This was also happened in past. And whenever this has happened the loser is always the community. Present is marked by failures of Reagon-Thatcher Model. Richness must have only objective and that objective is to enrich the community as a whole. The RT Model brought great richness but failed to enrich the community in the same proportion. This was due to its advocacy for minimal government. And so the RT Model has completed  it's life. This collapse is painful no doubt but beyond the curtain of economic depression social prosperity is waiting as there is no other way to keep nation states survived. If community is not brought in the center greater pain is inevitable.
