The prevalence of social justic among homeless dwellers in Guwahati city, India

Social justice aims at administering justice in the society between classes and not between individuals. It is to end the class difference by removing inequalities and affording equal opportunities to all citizens in both social and economic spheres. Thus, it is a democratic polity which stressed to act as a bulwark against abuse or misuse or excess of power on the part of the executive and to protect the citizens against the governmental lawlessness and the level of quality of public administration. The urban areas of the country like India, especially of homeless dwellers in the big metropolis and cities, are reaching alarming proportion. The Constitution of India ensures right to each and every persons in this country under Article 14, 19 and 21 of the Constitution of India along with the right of equal treatment and protection of law within the territory of India.
