Volume : I, Issue : XII, January - 2012 HUMAN RIGHTS IN INDIA ARVIND DESHMUKH DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : India, the world's most famous democracy, has significant human rights
problems despite making commitments to tackle some of the most prevalent abuses. The
country has a thriving civil society, free media, and an independent judiciary. But
profiteering and lack of accountability for rude practices foster human rights violations.
Government initiatives, including police reform and implemented access to health care
and education, are poorly implemented. Women, children, and minority groups are
marginalized. Rude committed by security forces in Jammu and Kashmir go unpunished.
Resource extraction and infrastructure projects often have deleterious environmental
and economic impacts, and may infringe upon the rights of affected communities.
Human rights movement in India got its germination during the Emergency
Rule during 1975–1977 and developed during the post Emergency period. Two major
trends were marked by Civil liberties concerns and the rights based perspectives. In the
last 35 years, the human rights has been enriched by collective wisdom appearing from
the tribal movement, peasant struggles, environmental movement, women's liberation
movement, child rights movement, dalit movement and struggles of the differently abled
persons. The state and the conventional institutions have had love hate relationships
with different types of human rights movements at different phases of history. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : ARVIND DESHMUKH, (2012). HUMAN RIGHTS IN INDIA.
