A champion for social justice and equality

Throughout his remarkable career, Trikamjee was a staunch advocate for social justice, tirelessly working to promote human rights and equality. His contributions to constitutional law, human rights, and labour law were widely recognised, earning him the admiration and respect of his peers and the broader community. An anti-apartheid activist rooted in the principles of the Black Consciousness Movement, Trikamjee’s work reflected his deep sense of self-respect and his enduring love for the disempowered and marginalised communities of South Africa.

A heartfelt homage

As we celebrate Trikamjee’s life, we reflect on a legacy dedicated to serving

humanity, pursuing justice, and promoting unity in diversity. His leadership across family, the legal fraternity, sports, and community was a testament to his deep spiritual insights and unwavering commitment to uplifting others.

Ashwin’s legacy is not merely defined by the positions he held but by the lives he touched and the positive changes he spearheaded. Those who have interacted personally with Trikamjee will always remember that he shared a special relationship with people of all ages from the very old to the very young.

His life was a harmonious blend of professional excellence and spiritual depth, a shining example of what can be achieved when one is driven by a higher purpose.

As he takes his leave from the earthly plane, we will remember him for his unwavering dedication, exemplary leadership, and the enduring impact he had on our society.

In the Bhagwad Gita, Lord Krishna implores: “Whatever you do, whatever you eat, whatever you offer in sacrifice Whatever charity you give, whatever austerity you practice, do it as an offering to Me” (9.27); “Charity given out of duty, without expectation of return, at the proper time and place, and to a worthy person is considered to be in the mode of goodness” (17.20).

Trikamjee was a living example of Nishkam Karma – serving without any expectation of reward. We wish his family strength and courage and pray that Mr Trikamjee’s soul attains moksha – becomes one with the Lord.

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.
