Question

This is the logo of the Supreme Court of India. What are the elements familiar to you? Notice the Sanskrit motto, ‘yato dharmastato jayah’

–‘Where there is dharma, there is victory.’ (You might recall this motto from your Grade 6 textbook.)

Answer 1

The Supreme Court logo has the Ashoka Chakra at its centre, which represents Dharma, or the path of righteousness. It symbolises the wheel of law and justice. The scales of justice represent fairness, equality, and impartiality in the judicial system. The motto “Yato Dharmastato Jayah”, meaning “Where there is Dharma, there is victory,” shows that justice and righteousness are the guiding principles of the courts and the law.
