Nagarani Nanda Summary

Justice means that everyone is treated fairly. What is “fair” is hard to define. In the narrative of Nagarani Nanda, there are two entities able to judge how justice is carried out: the police and Queen Cobra. The police are supposedly bound by the law, though they can stray, led by their own selfish desires. Nagarani is not bound by the law. She believes police corruption is wrong, and those who break the rules and hurt others for their own gain should be punished. The law and the morals of individuals often conflict, which limits justice and how it is carried out. Justice is hindered by the law. If a person rapes or murders, but it cannot proven guilty in court, they walk free. A court case must be tried within the parameters of the law.
