Ritesh and Frank explore the multifaceted concepts of justice and fairness, particularly within the context of Indian society. The discussion begins with a tragic incident involving an IPL cricket celebration that resulted in fatalities, prompting a deeper dive into accountability and the absence of justice in such events. This segues into a broader examination of the Indian Constitution, highlighting its preamble’s commitment to social, economic, and political justice, and the enshrined values of liberty, equality, and fraternity. A central theme revolves around positive discrimination and the controversial yet necessary system of reservations to address historical societal inequalities, particularly the lingering effects of the caste system, illustrating the complex distinction between abstract justice and practical fairness. The conversation concludes by emphasizing the critical need for philosophical education to foster critical thinking and navigate these intricate societal issues, especially when considering the potential for bias even in seemingly impartial systems like AI.
