Socially Equitable

"Judge every action by its impact on the poorest person in the country" - Mahatma Gandhi.
This simple line explains a big concept. This was an advice for the "Rulers". In present context it applies to our democratic set-up, Law makers (Parliament), Law enforcers (Bureaucracy), Law Pronounce-rs (Judiciary) and Law Observers (Media). I think, this qualifies as a best Objective for the nation.

What has changed is that, the word 'poorest' is replaced by 'Richest'. The result => CEO of Union Carbide flying out with govt escort, while poorest people were dieing/suffering from the worst industrial accidents in this country.
