What is the difference among Greek, Roman, Biblical, Islamic, Indian constitutional ideas & concepts of justice along with Sanskrit Shaastrik concept of justice? NEETI & NYAAYA – both stand for justice in classical Sanskrit, but both have been used in many different senses in different philosophical and legal discussions in ancient India. Among the principal uses of the term NITI are organizational propriety and behavioral correctness whereas the term Nyaaya stands for a more comprehensive concept of realized justice. Moreover Dharma is a more appropriate concept rather than justice or Nyaaya. Dept of Skt shared four short stories to easily understand the concept of Justice from Greek, western, Jew & Sanskrit tradition. It was decided to hold one more such open house discussion soon on this issue.
