“There are questions which we feel sure must be answered in a certain way. For example, we are confident that religious (or Caste or gender) intolerance and racial (Caste and untouchability in caste and untouchability-based societies) and (Gender) discrimination are unjust. We think that we have examined these things with care and have reached what we believe is an impartial judgment not likely to be distorted by an excessive attention to our own interests. These convictions are provisional fixed points which we presume any conception of justice must fit.” John Rawls, A Theory of Justice, Pp.17-18

 “Let me tell you that UNTOUCHABLE/DALIT LIVES MATTER, NEGRO/BLACK LIVES MATTER, LGBTQ LIVES MATTER, and TRUTH & JUSTICE MATTER protests against deep-rooted caste, untouchability, race, gender oppression, lies, and injustice are "more than legitimate". Dr.Suryaraju Mattimalla.

LGBTQ Lives Matter

There will be no death penalty, extrajudicial killings, or judicial killings. Judicial killing is a crime against constitutional morality, and extrajudicial killing is a crime against humanity. Even criminals have the right to life in prison. Dr. Suryaraju Mattimalla
