  • Abstract:
  • Justice had always been a vexed question and has produced diversity in legal thinking throughout the world. The difficulty is further increased by the fact that justice can be used in a wider or more restricted sense. In the wider sense, the Greeks used it for virtue in general. Justice appeared to roughly synonymous with morality. In the narrower sense, the word justice has a circumscribed meaning, limiting it to a specified area such as natural justice, legal justice, moral justice and social justice. Social justice on the other hand, is concerned with the distribution of benefits and burdens throughout a society. It is concerned with such matters as the regulation of wages and profits, the protection of a person’s rights through the local system and the allocation of housing, medicine and welfare benefits. It is more conspicuous in industrial adjudication. In fact, the very object of industrial jurisprudence is to meet the growing need for social justice to the working class. The concept of social justice may chance with changes in society and social norms. Social justice postulate the hopes and aspirations of a particular society and depends upon cultural, political and social development at a given time. It is justice according to the conscience of society. This research paper focuses on the social justice through the multiculturalism.
