Suffering is inevitable once consciousness is on voyage of freedom. Freedom comes with the heavy responsibility; empathy for that matter is a connecting fraternal bond from being to Being. Empathy elevates empathised and empathiser from the two different objects; where suffering of one is shared by others. In Gandhian language the pure joy of "Vaishnav Jan" is to feel the pain of other's sufferings. For no pedagogical masterpiece like Harry Potter could experience a bond of love in a logical tension between good and evil. For anthropology of suffering, good and evil is uncategorised; their oevre is rejected, in a sense that every evil has a bond with goodness; and every good notion suffers from evil strokes. It is beyond good and evil there is a life for empathy, love, and joy. For no pedagogy could teach what it means to love and to be loved. Suffering is the true law of nature; it cannot be avoided; however, it may be shared with each-other. The true freedom in a human's life is possible only through inter-subjective experiencial learning. For no science or metaphysical euphoria is required to be asserted; it is anthropology of experiencial learning, nay, anthropology of suffering is required to be developed for the language of freedom and justice; the true liberators reside within; for no ethical parameter or cultural super-ego could establish the truth than our own sense of belonging to the community at lange in Universe.

He delivered many landmark judgments, including Shreya Singhal v. Union of India. There are a few people with whom time moves too fast, but to count that experience takes ages. Justice Rohinton Nariman is one of those great jurists with whom a meet...
