Forget ‘A
Theory of Justice,’ the acclaimed tome of John Rowls. Follow ‘A Radical Theory
of Justice,’ the dreaded primer of A. Kejri.
John sees ‘Justice
as Fairness;’ Kejri sees ‘justice as parti pris.’
Two axioms
from ‘A Radical ’:
-
If
a man loses an election, he is a man of no-reputation, ergo, he can’t sue for
defamation.
Jaitly lost Amritsar, 2014, ergo, he is a man of no reputation,
ergo, he can’t sue for defamation.
Hmmm . . .
Bajpai lost
Mathura, 1957, Gwalior (by a huge margin), 1984; Bajpai is a man of
no-reputation. Indira G lost Rai Bareilly, 1977; Indira G is a woman of
no-reputation. Abraham Lincoln lost every election he fought – eight of them
(in one of these he got less than 100 votes) - except for two; Lincoln is not
only a man of no-reputation, he is definitely a man of ill-reputation.
Kejri
himself lost Varanasi, 2014; ergo Kejri is a man of no-reputation.
-
You
sue everyone or you sue none. Jaitly didn’t sue Kirti Azad, ergo, he didn’t sue
everyone, ergo, he can sue none, ergo, he can’t sue Kejri for defamation.
Quod Erat Demonstrandum
