Overcome barriers of caste, religion to embody spirit of fraternity: DY Chandrachud

New Indian Express  

KOCHI: Former Chief Justice of India Justice D Y Chandrachud on Friday said we would not be able to create an India which is inclusive, overcoming the barriers of caste, religion, gender and class, unless we embody the spirit of fraternity. Delivering the constitution day law lecture, organised by the Kerala High Court Advocates Association at the High Court auditorium in Kochi, Justice Chandrachud urged the younger generation of Indian citizens to understand and uphold the values of fraternity and preserve the constitutional spirit and the principles of diversity it represents. Evoking the memory of Dr B R Ambedkar on his 68th death anniversary, Justice Chandrachud said in Dr Ambedkar’s imagination, fraternity upheld the dignity of individuals who were assaulted by the caste system. The event was presided over by Chief Justice of Kerala High Court Justice Nitin Jamdar. Justice Nitin Jamdar handed over the ‘Outstanding Young Lawyer Award’, ‘Promising Lawyer Award’ and 10 fellowship awards constituted by the High Court of Kerala Advocates Association at the event.
