Title

LAW, EQUITY AND SOCIAL CHANGE –AN INTROSPECTION

Authors

Abstract

The importance of equity to development is well recognized. Equity is a dream to be reached for the status of an egalitarian society and law plays a key role in it. Decades of inequities were changed and reformations were brought by ‘law’, which is considered as an excellent engine useful for achieving the status of model society. The very idea of equity comes from the idea of moral equality. It encompasses the equal life chances and equal concern for all which necessitates a power balance in the political, economic and social spheres. If this is not addressed properly, this inequity which itself is negative in nature, will radiate the same on growth of the society. In this regard, the role of law is undisputed as the law is important for a society, it being a norm of conduct for citizens and guidelines and order upon the behavior of people to sustain the equity. The rule of law cannot co-exist along with arbitrariness. Equity too presupposes the same and excludes arbitrariness. Without law there would be chaos and it would be survival of the fittest and there would be conflicts between social groups and communities. Thus law leads to social change through a change in the system of social relationship. Causing alterations in the structure and functions of the society, law stands in the cases like provisions for compulsory educational system or the abolition of the of untouchability, child marriage or ensuring of equal wages for both men and women etc., as an agent of modernization and social change. Thus law is instrumental in leading to equity and it is pivotal in introducing changes in the societal structure and relationships. This paper explains the role of law in bringing equity and analyzes some of the legislations in this context.

Key Words
