About Us
Advocacy for Social Justice is a voice with a difference. Stick to the truth without any embellishment- destroy fictitious details to provide urgent justice and relief. This is a priority need-felt from within society. A cry for help evolving as matters of grave concern are wilfully distorted and misrepresented.
Our Vision
“SocialJustice is Equal Rights and Freedom for all“
Our MissionOur Mission
“A Justice System before Divinity“
The oneness of India and its Constitution influenced change in an established foreign legal framework devised to subjugate under conditions of abuse violence and displacement. The struggle of the common people of India changed all that. The intelligentsia came to the street to fight for independence from colonial rule and the eventual adoption of a secular, democratic, republican Constitution.
Historically, the members of the bar have provided leadership at a national as well as the international level. The current potential is higher.
The Indian legal profession is one of the largest in the world, with over 14 lakh enrolled advocates nationwide. The estimated total value of the Indian legal market as of 2010 was approximately USD 1.25 billion. The legal profession, evolving as it has done from colonial India, has undergone a huge transformation since its independence.
The efforts of the members of the bar to achieve excellence in all spheres of their practise through stiff competition is apparent in their dealing with national and international challenges earning recognition the world over as second to none.
Achieving Our Vision
Establish ‘The Rule of Law’
“The rule of law is a principle of governance in which all persons, institutions and entities, public and private, including the State itself, are accountable to laws that are publicly promulgated, equally enforced and independently adjudicated, and which are consistent with international human rights norms and standards.
It requires, as well,
- measures to ensure adherence to the principles of supremacy of law,
- equality before the law,
- accountability to the law,
- fairness in the application of the law,
- separation of powers,
- participation in decision-making,
- legal certainty, avoidance of arbitrariness and
- procedural and legal transparency.”

Delivery of Services with Equal Access to All
ASJ as a legal support platform integrating other professionals from education and medicine specialises in a quick effective response.
We function effectively at every point with our feet firmly planted on the ground without any fancy notions of what we can make happen but, how to deliver end results which have any number of grey areas which evolve as matters move on.
ASJ advocacy and lobbying for new legislation to meet the continued changing goals addresses the needs of a vibrant rising new generation and industry with aspirations of their own.
ASJ is not burdened with past beliefs or futuristic visions with varying clouds that obstruct a clear picture and touching money and resources which are not there.
ASJ identification of different castes and classes to inculcate inclusion as an inherent part of the social system and is reflected with equal commitment in all our education, health and social welfare institutions and organizations.
Educate the community as a whole and as an integral part of the country.
Caste, class and religion calls for long-term action and on-going efforts to put an end to systemic fault-lines arising off a male dominated feudal society closed to change affecting every facet of our society and therefore every infrastructure and development programme of the government. It is needless to say that our basic institutions are all under the ‘dictat’ of this oppressive feudal system India today does not need a return to the status quo.
What is necessary is a concerted effort to introduce change that permits equal access to the most deprived and most vulnerable. Acceptance and inclusion remain central concern and prioritize equal access to housing, food, healthcare and education for all as the foundation of all that we do.
Purpose
In the Context of Social Justice in India
- Economic disparity in India continues to grow denying the right to a fulfilling life for the vast majority, regardless of their background, identity, or circumstances and is here to stay because speculation and vested interests thrive on ignorance and poverty – with a little effort we can end this imbalance.
- Food inflation has hurt everyone but it is no longer discussed because it serves the money interests of the executive. For SJI mitigating hunger is the first priority.
- Raising comparisons with other countries once again has no meaning – we are over-populated with illiterate ill-educated masses touted as a positive factor in our economics and visions of world domination. Indians are a part of the war effort in Israel and Russia – to achieve what? Is this supposed to be an avenue for employment?
- Low GDP and illogical, unjustified high levels of freebies in cash are not the foundations of a thriving economy. We at ASJ do not live in a virtual world.
- Advocates for social justice work to reduce the disparity and ensure equitable access to resources and opportunities.
- Protection of the rights of minorities assures peace and increased productivity contributing to the GDP. Discrimination raises its ugly head at every turn and never fails in its attempts to create social disorder, destruction and benefits no one.
- We conclude vagueness as a basic response to legitimate queries is a big ‘NOT ACCEPTABLE’. Are we instigating discord as a planned master stroke for organised political prosecutions/ persecutions targeting minorities?
- India has a caste system cultured, cultivated, nurtured and maintained through discrimination, oppression and undeterred mob violence perpetrated by a male dominated patriarchal feudal society – termed – redefined as “the New Concept of Democracy”.
- Gender-based discrimination and misogyny is malignant in India.
- Social justice campaigns with the objective of empowering women and promote gender equality in all spheres of life have failed.
Advocacy for Social Justice is a team of experienced professionals with a track record of reacting with promptitude and a total disregard for decorum where human lives are at stake.
This platform – Awareness Empowers is an open platform and will cover live developments and our reactions in pursuit of saving human lives and Building Awareness evidenced and documented in behaviour change.
While Advocacy for Social Justice is concerned with human lives it is equally active, informed and involved in corporate affairs and money profits with the focus on predatory behaviour of those who have strayed from the established standards of responsible public exchange in public life.
Looking ahead…
Our Solutions…
ASJ Part II – Initiate a Meaningful Association
ASJ ‘in People’s Lives and as A Part of it’
Our work experience covers a span of 34 years without seeking any recognition, grants-in-aid, awards or the publishing of photographs of beneficiaries or, ourselves.
Challenges come into individual lives and need individual attention and that is the difference in the management of Human beings and the animal world or household pets.
We are not here to criticise – we are here only to ameliorate.
What we do to help – treating every situation as unique:
- Every child is unique and with their own problems, the fore most being
- Inadequate quality, quantity, missed meals or no food – link families and children to react as a single joint family and share all extra food.
- Protect children from violence – society must abhor eschew violence.
The fight is unending, thankless.
Why is the activity ‘Thankless’?
- We are in direct conflict with the well-established well-entrenched male dominated feudal society under the garb of democracy which is uncontrolled in its quick visibility of the ‘iron heal’ and mob violence at the drop of a pin – easily supposedly violated and humiliated by
- Children – you always thrash and abuse at will
- Incest and domestic violence within the four walls of the family deeply entrenched without any official records from the law enforcement agencies (the police) or, the point of first contact (doctors – medical practitioners), comfortable ignored under the garb of family reputation and quiet brutalisation of the child girls within the family walls
- Misogyny – deeply entrenched in entirety in society and raising its ugly head at every turn but never defined in its multifarious avatars by the law enforcement establishment.
- For the single biggest reason for failure is, being in conflict with the money-seeking, money-grabbing pursuit/ syndrome of the day – the New Normal. Money – no matter what the price is to be acquired.
- Senior citizens being pushed around and kicked down the stairs, sprained or broken ankles with no one to help – women senior citizens being beaten
- Senior citizens who have been forced to part with their pensions, houses and securities in favour of their own children face the most abusive situations . . .
And the list of deprived people is endless but not reflected in government programmes beyond a very cursory discussion of allowing a beggars dole which fails entirely in the delivery of justice.
For people who are prepared to get up and move forward, we are here to provide support services that help mainstream the most vulnerable which we continue to do to this day.
The nature of our contribution to our objectives does not permit the publishing of photographs.
Our Active Involvement
- Re-instate the children to a life free from violence of any kind at home or in school regardless of the reasons.
- Hold the people responsible for their behaviour.
- Access to quality food
- Access to health infrastructure
- Access to legal services and immediate relief.
We are not here to discuss the high volume of words one is exposed to, to this day, the contradictions and the lack of clarity and credibility is glaring. Banks forcefully distributing credit and loans followed with an annual jamboree of writing off the large volume of NPAs’ puts the entire nation into debt and inflationary trends.
Small ill-conceived consumer loans to all and sundry conclude in unfathomable failure because they are not redeemable and further burden the nation of a very small number of people who understand what the GDP is all about and contribute in a meaningful way.
Let us commit to applying the Law – as the first step to success.
