    Breaking The Scales: Critical Legal Theory Through Time
    (Paarth Publications, 2025) Gaurav Gupta, Swati Joshi
    The present chapter Breaking the Scales: Critical Legal Theory Through Time explores the evolution of Critical Legal Theory (CLT) and its ongoing in luence on contemporary legal thought. From its roots in the 1970s, CLT challenged the traditional perceptions of law as neutral and objective, arguing instead that legal structures are intrinsically shaped by power dynamics, social hierarchies, and historical context. This chapter traces CLT's development, highlighting key theoretical contributions from scholars such as Roberto Unger, Duncan Kennedy, and Karl Marx, whose critiques focused on the intersection of law, class, and society. Additionally, it examines CLT's engagement with issues of race, gender, and colonialism, offering an interdisciplinary approach that critiques the law's role in maintaining social injustice. By situating CLT within the broader historical trajectory of legal thought, this chapter demonstrates how it has fostered a deeper understanding of the law as a tool of social control, capable of both perpetuating and challenging existing power structures. The chapter also addresses the limitations and future prospects of CLT, exploring its continued relevance in a world increasingly shaped by globalization and technological innovation. Through real-world case studies and judicial opinions, the chapter underscores the importance of CLT in interrogating the ways in which law interacts with evolving societal norms and values.

    Ambedkar's Perspective on Achieving Social Equality in Indian Society
    (Opus Publication, 2025) Sadaf Khan
    Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's perspective on social justice is based on his commitment to the rights of marginalized communities, particularly the untouchables, and his vision of a society built on equality, liberty, and fraternity. As an economist, legal scholar, and social reformer, Ambedkar criticised the deeply rooted caste-based prejudice that dominated Indian culture and emphasised the necessity of structural changes to end inequality. His idea of social justice included the socioeconomic empowerment of marginalised communities in addition to legal rights and political engagement. This chapter will going to explain the Ambedkar's view on social justice and how he worked to attain and establish the society with justice and equality. Ambedkar regarded the caste system as a significant barrier to equality and human dignity, and he maintained that it must only be abolished in order to attain true social justice. He believed that only by means of having access to economic possibilities, political representation, and education could the marginalised be socially and economically uplifted. His support of reservations in legislative, employment, and educational institutions was essential to his conviction that affirmative action might be used to right historical wrongs.

    Bridging Divides: Social Justice in the Multicultural Fabric of India
    (Bharti Publication, 2025) Anas Jameel, Anshal Tiger
    India's rich tapestry of cultures, languages, religions, and communities is a testament to its longstanding tradition of multiculturalism. This diversity, while a source of vibrancy and strength, also poses unique challenges, particularly in the realm of social justice. Social justice, defined as the fair and equitable distribution of resources and opportunities, critical in ensuring harmonious coexistence in such a multifaceted society. However, the path to achieving social justice in India is fraught with obstacles, including systemic discrimination, socio-economic disparities, and entrenched biases. The concept of social justice extends beyond mere equality; it encompasses a broader spectrum of ensuring that all individuals have access to the benefits of societal cooperation and can participate fully in the socio-economic life of the nation. In a multicultural society like India, this involves addressing the needs and rights of diverse groups, recognizing their unique identities, and ensuring that no group is marginalized or left behind.
