What does Article 14 mean for us?
No one is above the law.
The government cannot discriminate against anyone based on religion, race, caste, or gender.

Being Just Everyday
We don't need to be judges to practice justice. Being honest, following school rules, and standing up for friends who are treated unfairly is how we show justice in our lives.
Justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the right and upholding it.
