@swa had gone for an interview. She never expected to get a case. Even in interview she gets a question. Are all poor right and all rich wrong. Their she says she wants to be the voice of the voiceless. Hence the firm gives her the case and tells her to take it to 3 hearing. Not even to win. So taking that case to 3 hearings will give Swa the job.
I would also say she ended up in soup because of the high handed presentation of voice of the voiceless. See when you present such ideas for an interview you will always be tested.
I still remember my fresher interview question. What will you do with 1 million. And I gave the most realistic answer that I would roam Europe, would buy a new apartment, new vehicle, would buy gifts for my parents, relatives and friends and 10% of it I will donate for education of underprivileged students.
Next question was even more interesting. " Is money the most important thing" My answer " No". Next question " For all the things you mentioned above you need money, without money you cannot do anything. So if money is not the most important justify" . I still remember I had paused for a moment gathering my thoughts and this is the answer I gave " Sir if I need money, I have to convince you I have the right skill sets that are required for your org, my values are inline with that of your org. I have to prove I can work. For that my health, my knowledge and my character is important. If these 3 are there I believe money will follow me. And Sir I want money to follow me and not vica versa."
That smile the interviewer gave me kind of sealing I have cleared the campus placement is one of my fondest memories.
So principles are fine. But when you justify your principles you have to know the reality of life also to some extend. But when you just look at principles from a theory perspective soup like Swa ended up will happen.
Every org wants to know the worth of the individual they are investing in. Whether that person can stand upto what they are speaking. Making tall claims during interview process can ensure you will be given one challenge or other to prove your claim.

this is such a good point and I completely understand what you are saying. I think the problem with most graduates or those who are still finishing their degree is that they are to "idealistic" and not realistic. I'm a student of social work and so many students say they want to "empower people" and when professors ask "how?" they go blank. tall, idealistic claims sound great in theory but are harder to practice and even harder to implement. Swadeenta is facing the same problem, these are some things she will have to learn through experience, no one will teach her or spoonfeed her.

@ HalkatJawaniJay: (sorry! don't know your name😳..)

Exactly the same thing was bothering me too. Found the whole thing pretty much unreal! Even Swadheenta's interview process was also seems like a hoax, as if 3 senior lawyers were playing a practical joke with her! Because in real world interview doesn't happen like this, that too for a lawyer's post in a place like Delhi high court.

And what bothers me even more is CV's are trying to show that, if you are honest..you can't be a go-getter. You gotta be corrupted in case you wanna make it to the top! Let's see how long they would continue to show Swadheenta as a damsel in distress, waiting for Adarsh to rescue her all the time!

@pomegranate I work with the CSR wing of my org in the education sector. I had started with the same high ideals. Empowering the poor. And the lesson I learnt was if you give something free, that doesn't have value. People misuse it. Then when we spend money on educating the child, parents will decide that before the girl gets a job, let us marry her off. After all what is the point in completing her education or she getting a job. Marriage is important.
I have seen students not even willing to try for fear of failure or they don't believe what we tell is true and stick to old age habits.
Days I have cried out in frustration. Is nothing possible. Then there will be some ray of hope. When you try with 10 people, you get 1 success. You will get a student with passion and the desire to excel. And that one student gives you the motivation to try with next 10.
And my work taught me this also. Unless a person has self belief, unless a person is willing to try, unless a person is willing to change, even with all your knowledge, money and power you cannot do anything to change or empower. Standing for oneself has to happen from within and then you can set the direction.

I agree with you ,i didn't get one thing.how come a fresher take up a case without any practise under a senior lawyer?as i know a fresh llb student either it is llb or llm,they work under a senior lawyer as assistant to know how to handle a case.

im not getting what makers are trying to show us?

Totally agree with u.In fact since my husband is a lawyer I know most of details about how a case is handled.In fact there are juniors who work under him to get exposure in the court.So it very hard to comprehend how they are showing her handling the case in a very childish manner.

@virman I work with a MNC in IT sector in managerial role. 12 years of my professional journey has taught me what Suhasini told today. It is not what is truth. It is what you can prove. If you are at the side of truth, you have to learn the art of proving it. Not just in law, every sector it counts. If you want to uphold your principles, you have to deliver results with your principles. You have to give proof that your principles work. And it's a very thin line that differentiates the good and evil. It's a combination of ideals and life. I have been lucky that I got very good mentors in my professional journey who helped me to navigate around the muck that exists in every sector.

My friend is an LLB. graduate and they used to have mock trials in her law school. It can't be her first experience as a lawyer. So yes, I was expecting a lot more than a cornered trembling girl, esp when she had so much to say in that party.
