National Meet of Social Justice Lawyers:Last Day


The Last Day of the
Lawyers for Change
National Meet of Social Justice Lawyers
Date: 30th April, 2012
The day got started at 10:00 am with the lectures of the eminent personalities who were invited by the organizers Center for Social Justice and National Dalit Movement for Justice.
The first person of the day to deliver the speech is Abusaleh  Shariff, Executive Director, US India Policy Institute.. He says that India is the one of the largest populated country in the world and we are the greatest civilized country. In fact the population of our country has increased 3 fold since independence from 400 million to 1.3 Billion at present. India is has the largest disparities all over states and there is also regional disparity, rural and urban disparity all the more the most talked about is now in terms of Gender disparity. In the context of the developed countries we are far behind when we see in terms of infant mortality of some state for example in the states of Assam 80, Bihar 75, and UP 70. The economic disparity to the citizen are not equal and the rural population are far from developmental activities yet we talk of the India’s advance with many international airports rising in number and there are 1000 flights that fly from Delhi every day to all over the country and outside. That’s why in the actual practice the citizenship right are not reached to all therefore you as you Lawyers has to reach out and change the system and utilize the Constitutional rights to ensure justice to all the citizens of the country.
Ms Veena Gawda is a practicing Advocate in the Bombay High Court as a Feminist lawyer and she has kept her speech on the challenges and learning in her experience of lawyering as feminist and she has strong determination to provide and ensure any right for the women whatever may by use of law all through. This is a very challenging by choice of profession as a lawyer in our Indian society today and being in the very high cosmopolitan. So I urge the young lawyers to take up as the challenge for the cause of justice for the people of our country specially for the women.
Mr. Amitabh Behar Executive Director, National Foundation for India. He has spoken on the understanding planning process for advocacy. It is very important for the advocates to understand and take part in the grassroot level right from the village gram sabhas to the district level and then bring impact to the approach paper in front of the planning commission of India. As in the process of decentralize planning it could of immense help.
Mr. Arvind Narrain,  Founder of Alternative Law Forum has kept his speech on the Rights of Sexual minorities. He has spoken on the experience and the humiliation and the importance of the impulse for the activism as lawyers need to this desperate contrast to fight for humiliation and injustice in the communities. The provision of law needs political intervention. The notion of morality is the constitutional morality; the collective of lawyers can be the group for change as social lawyers for change. And assist the community workers who are the better crisis response team.
Wajahat Habibullah: Chairperson, National Commission for Minorities. India
How I feel as lawyers and the effort in nation building and India a one nation with the multiplicity and our nation has economic and cultural and in many way feeling of integrity and originated and because of the trade integrated of the community and the unit integrated is the Panchayat and the infrastructure and the social and economic and social security. We are building out of this integrated desperate force and the military effort and the motivation from Akbar was to integrate the dynasty and Ashoka a philosophic..
The SC court found in India that all are the minority and whom do we decide the minority and the SC says In terms of the constitutional rights value will be the minority and this is where the question comes from the incidents of Muslims in Gujurat and this is the question whether the muslims of that state enjoyed the right to life and many lives are taken away in the hands of Indians in the name of the religion ..
Can a country like India its origin with the birth of diverse religion and that is what we see in terms of internally dispersed persons..who have the whole community internal disparities and as example in fact the Kashmiri Pandits …the bulk of the community are internally displaced. .in the state of Haryana did not go back to their homes and as the Christians of Kandhamal did not get back to their homes. Deprived from schools, hospitals, and jobs etc.
When the justice is denied to the vulnerable there is where lawyers are to be there and fight in groups as lawyers for justice.
