ABSTRACT
Justice is something for which human existence has an inborn longing to-something which comes to humans naturally. Yet, when the human world today is taken into account, justice is experienced more in its denial and violation, than in its fulfillment in the lives of individuals and societies. In many societies, to see justice done is seen as something great, rare, and sometimes, a miracle! In such a world, to come across someone who would be described as a personification of justice, would indeed be a miracle. Mohandas Karmachand Gandhi (M. K. Gandhi) was an experience of a presence of justice for his times, as well as for the world today. Albert Einstein aptly put it thus: “Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this ever in flesh and blood walked upon earth” (quoted in Chatfield, 1976, pp. 579-580).
