Inter School Debate on Constitutional Values

  

"We will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream".

 

Today I, Anya Sharma, stand before you filled with deep emotions as I express my gratitude for the profound significance of "justice" as the foundation, the very essence, of the Indian Constitution. Within the fabric of our democracy "justice" intertwines threads of hope, equality and righteousness. It is in these sentiments where we discover the spirit of our Constitution.

Dear fellow mates, justice is not merely a term inscribed in legal documents. It is an emotion that resonates within the hearts of millions. It beats at the core of our democracy promising that every individual, from bustling streets like those in Mumbai to serene villages like those in Kerala will be treated with fairness and equity.

The framers of our Constitution possessed wisdom when they recognized that justice is not a mere word; it is an ideal that should permeate every aspect of our society. When we speak about justice it extends beyond courts and legal systems; it encompasses the dignity. Worthiness inherent, in every life lived by an Indian citizen. It’s important to make sure that those who have been oppressed, feel supported and that those who are marginalized, gain power.

In this voyage we must always remember the sacrifices made to uphold the principles of justice. It is the efforts of our freedom fighters, the pain endured by those who faced injustice and the lives lost in the fight, for our rights that have nurtured the foundation of justice within our Constitution. It is their shared determination, unwavering devotion, to an India that continues to fill us with inspiration.

Justice, my citizens extend beyond the punishment of wrongdoers. It encompasses ensuring opportunities for every child to thrive regardless of their background. It involves empowering our women and safeguarding the vulnerable. Justice is, about fostering a society where factors like race, religion, creed or gender do not impede progress.

As we commemorate justice as a value enshrined in our Indian Constitution, let us wholeheartedly embrace this sentiment. Let us pledge, to champion justice standing against any form of injustice wherever it may arise and keeping the flame of justice alive within every Indian.

Let us always remember that justice pulsates at the core of our democracy; it is a shared commitment that unifies us all in our pursuit of a fairer, India. Justice is more, than a word; it embodies our aspirations and enduring legacy. Thank you for your attention. May justice forever prevail in our nation!
