In India, ‘kanoon andha hai’ is a timeless adage. From the Hindi, it translates to the fact that the law (‘kanoon’) is (‘hai’) blind (‘andha’); an equivalent of the saying that justice is blind. The image of justice personified as a sturdy young woman treading upon snakes, blindfolded, holding up a pair of scales, is as timeless as the adage.
The lady-of-justice sculpture that you see on this page is made from pure brass. Her long, slender form is clad in a robe flowing seductively in the wind. In her right hand, a walking stick as skinny as she; in the left, of course, the scales.
The most interesting aspect of the lady-of-justice is how she is incapable of viewing the scales and forming the kind of judgement that is informed by intuition. The idea is that, in order to mete out justice, the law has nothing beyond the cold, hard, often insufficient truth.
