Dear Reader, Nobel Laureate Prof. Amartya Sen cites a story of three children, Anne, Bob and Carla. Prof. Sen quotes Aristotle and Bentham too while narrating the story, I heard from Prof (Dr.) James Nedumpara at his recent live lecture at Jindal Global Law School. This story fascinated me and it goes like this. Clara worked hard to successfully build a flute. Anne knows to play the flute, but Clara does not know to play the flute. Bob, the third child, does NOT have any toys to play with, so he wants the flute. All the children are claimants to the flute. Prof. Sen and many legal luminaries quote many legal theories such as Libertarianism, Utilitarianism, Egalitarian and also try to distinguish between “Niti and Nyaya” to resolve this problem, as to who merits (deserts and deserve) to keep the flute.
