HUMAN RIGHTS IN INDIA

ARVIND DESHMUKH

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.
