Pioneers and the Social Conscience of IndiaBy: RC | Monday , 6 Jul '09 14:23:33 PM Reply | Forward These lawyers, whether fighting for their own rights or for others, are pioneers. They will be remembered, just like other freedom fighters, battling for justice, equal treatment under the law and above all human dignity. They are on the cutting edge of social revolution. They represent the downtrodden and will be rewarded with respect.The reason the lawyers for the Union didn't have any sound arguments is because they think it's a game, to play with people's lives, to deride as frivolous and "are in it only for the fun". No one risks their lives, open themselves up for blackmail or threat of jail for fun. They do it for love. They do it for survival.But it's not their lives at stake, nor is it their sons and daughters' lives...heck even if their children were gay, they wouldn't know what to do with it. Because they don't want to educate themselves, to break the shackles of tradition and colonialism. They prefer to live in the dark ages instead of opening their eyes to science.
