00:00I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of India as by law established.
00:30And I am a first generation lawyer from a very ordinary family.
00:55I bow to the noble feet of my husband, Thiru Tulasi Muthuram, who stood by all my experiments
01:01with the uncharted waters of the society, facilitating the flow of my life like an enchanting
01:08river without stagnation.
01:10I thank both my lovely daughters, Dr. Vasantha Bharathi and Surya Gayathri, for consistently
01:16bearing with my missed timings as a dutiful mother.
02:46I will duly and faithfully and to the best of my ability, knowledge and judgment, perform
03:11the duties of my office without fear or favour, affection or ill will.
03:41I am conscious and fully aware that today I am handed over with the greatest responsibility
03:52of being a judge, only to heed to the unheard and oppressed voices of the poorest of the
03:58poor, to liberate the marginalized, to scuttle down the abominable inequalities of the society
04:04and to nurture fraternity in this beautiful, serene, diverse land named India.
