About the Conference

The concept of justice has been debated upon for millennia. It has been one of the most exciting and controversial ideas. It has been debated on at least three fronts. In the first place, in terms of what constitutes justice.

As a second point, the concept of justice has been affected by normative evaluations; accordingly, various explanations of justice have been predisposed to the normative impetuses of the commentators. Third, the topic of what constitutes justice has been at the centre of the debate over good laws.

An analytical breadth has been reached on the question of what are excellent laws when justice at the practical level is always given according to the law.

Every society’s definition of justice has evolved through time. In India, societies evolved an understanding of justice throughout the past from the evolution of the conception of justice as unequal castes, genders and communities in pre-modern times to ideas of justice based on English Legal Principles in modern times; and justice as expanding capacities in post-modern times.

Political ideologies, religious beliefs, cultural intolerance, poverty and hunger, gender discrimination, abuses of human rights, and inequality, among other social handicaps, have prevented common people’s access to justice even since independence.

Objectives

To bring out the different ideas of justice through time.
To trace the idea of justice followed by different rulers who ruled the various kingdoms in the ancient and medieval periods.
