Of late, a woke teen recently approached the esteemed Supreme Court with a demand to make the Constitution of India gender neutral. Little did this young crusader know that the Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha were ready to burst their woke bubble with a dose of reality.
Let’s dive into the courtroom comedy that unfolded on that fateful Tuesday, leaving the petitioner with a pronoun amnesia!
Pronoun Pandemonium
Our woke teen, armed with a petition filed under Article 32, challenged the use of male terminology in the Constitution. But oh boy, did they get a reality check from the Chief Justice! The bench, visibly unimpressed, criticized the petitioner and advised them to focus on their studies. It seems the Supreme Court wasn’t too keen on playing language police or rewriting constitutional provisions for the sake of woke culture.

The Chief Justice, with a hint of exasperation, asked the petitioner whether they truly believed that constitutional provisions should be struck down over such reasons. The court expressed its dissatisfaction with such petitions and even hinted at imposing costs on future petitioners if this trend continues. It’s almost as if the court is saying, “Enough with the woke shenanigans, hit the books instead!”

Chairman or Chairperson? It’s All the Same!
The highlight of this courtroom comedy came when the petitioner claimed that using male terminology violates Article 14, the right to equality. But the Chief Justice wasn’t having any of it. With a touch of sarcasm, he questioned whether a woman could not be appointed as a chairman. After all, the term “chairman” doesn’t bar women from occupying that esteemed position. It’s a clear case of woke confusion being met with common sense, leaving the petitioner scrambling for a coherent argument.
In the end, the Supreme Court dismissed the petition, leaving our woke teen with a valuable lesson—focus on studies instead of filing such petitions. The bench made it clear that it’s time to prioritize real issues and avoid wasting the court’s time with frivolous matters. A pronoun revolution may not be on the immediate horizon, but perhaps a lesson in grammar and equality is just what our woke petitioner needed.
Lessons for the woke club!
This courtroom comedy also serves as a reminder of how we all grow and learn from our experiences. The woke teen, eager to challenge societal norms, stepped into the arena of the Supreme Court only to find that their argument lacked substance. But isn’t that part of the journey? We stumble, we learn, and we adapt.
It’s important to remember the role of the Supreme Court in upholding the constitutional framework of the country. While they respect the right to approach them under Article 32, they have a responsibility to ensure that petitions are grounded in genuine issues that affect society as a whole. The court’s decision to dismiss this petition reinforces the notion that they will not entertain cases that lack merit or undermine the true purpose of constitutional rights.

After all, sometimes a dose of reality is just what the doctor ordered!
