Most people don't know that she is the mother of
celebrity Indian writer Vikram Seth. Late Leila Seth retired as Chief Justice
of Himachal Pradesh and wrote a book 'Talking of Justice'.
The topic she chose is raging with
controversies especially after Delhi Gang Rape incident in 2012.
The book is a medium volume of two-hundred plus pages giving a convincing argument
for the rights of women, minorities and other weaker sections/ communities.
In her book, she talked about how our laws failed
in dispensing justice to the common man even after the country is freed from
the clutches of British Rule. She brilliantly portrayed the existing judicial
mechanism in the country and what ought to be done in gender-sensitizing
the judiciary, reforming the police and changing the social attitudes of
people.
A must read book to know the ground reality on the judicial front of the world's largest democracy.
