Tolerance and Intolerance ?

-


What is tolerance?

Tolerance implies respect for others and their opinions and beliefs, which may differ from one’s own. It is appreciation of varying backgrounds of others without any hostilities or prejudices. Tolerance is the foundation for fundamental freedoms and universal human rights enjoyed by people. It is also a tool for fostering peace and recognising that harmony can exist despite dissimilarities amongst people.

How can tolerance be fostered?

Education - Ignorance about cultural, religious and ethnic diversity present around us can lead to insecurity. With education, there can be a better understanding of different traditions and beliefs and greater acceptance of them. 

Legal framework - Strong and robust laws which punish acts of intolerance such as hate crimes and racial discrimination and which ensure equal access to law enforcement authorities and judiciary by all communities can ensure speedy justice for the victims.

Dismissing stereotypes - Stereotyping communities or having pre-set notions about them is often due to misinformation and fosters prejudices against different groups.

What is intolerance?

Intolerance is the unwillingness to accept views, beliefs or behaviour that is different from one’s own. It implies a disregard for the diversity and pluralism present in society. It can assume various forms, such as discrimination and marginalisation of minority groups, and stereotyping communities based on ethnic, sexual and cultural preferences.

Introduction: The article "Justice is not blind, just a tad tongue-tied" by K. Chandru delves into the linguistic challenges within India's judicial system. It critiques the reliance on English in legal proceedings and judgments, which often alienates non-English-speaking citizens, thereby questioning the accessibility and inclusivity of the justice system.

Article 348 mandates that laws made by Parliament and judgments of the Supreme Court be in English. 2. Judicial Language Practices: The Supreme Court and High Courts predominantly use English Some states have introduced regional languages in their High Courts, but judgments are still required to be in English. 3. Historical and Legislative Developments: In 1986, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi proposed introducing Tamil in th...

National Judicial Data Grid

National Judicial Data Grid: Aimed at promoting transparency and access to information for all stakeholders in the justice delivery system, the NJDG public access page can be visited at the National eCourts portal, ecourts.gov.in'. 1)NJDG is a subset of the eCourts project, a scheme launched in 2007 by the Ministry of Law and Justice. 2)The project aims to integrate technology with the judicial system. However, a recent study by the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy (NIPFP) found that eCourts data lacks in several aspects, which may make the recent Supreme Court directions difficult to achieve.  This is not a new issue, and the Law Commission of India has also faced challenges while depending on judicial data to calculate the caseload across various courts In particular, the problems in the data arise due to three reasons: Inconsistencies in what is reported, missing data and restricted access. As an example, the NJDG records only 24 case types. This is the form in wh...
