A study on the different facets of human rights in India

Author : Dr. Geetarani Bakkappa

Abstract

India's long history of respecting human rights demonstrates how the nation's views on civil liberties and social values have evolved. Human rights are crucial to people's complete growth. Basic rights, commonly referred to as fundamental rights, are guaranteed by the Indian Constitution to both foreign nationals and citizens. The differences between Unspecified and Specific Fundamental Rights are highlighted. At times, the rights guaranteed by the Constitution are also equivalent to those guaranteed by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICPPR), a global agreement. Individuals are not covered by the ICCPR; only States are. Because of this, a state's internal legislation must include the rights entrenched therein before it can be said to have done so. Before the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, the International Labour Organization had already established the rights of workers to form unions and organizations, the abolition of forced labor, and the right to collective bargaining through conventions dating back to 1920. This included addressing issues related to collective bargaining. Consequently, the concept of Human Rights gained prominence. Vigilant cow protection groups carried out many attacks, while human rights advocates and organizations continued to be the targets of intimidation and harassment. The violence and injustice that Dalit communities experience was the subject of thousands of protests. Labor law amendments were opposed by millions of individuals. The government's persistent disregard for marginalized populations persisted in its desire for quicker economic growth. A Commission on Human Rights led by Mrs. E. Roosevelt was established by the UN Charter in 1945, which also reaffirmed belief in the fundamental rights of all people. Though hard to define, the idea of human rights cannot be disregarded. Individual dignity, or the degree of self-worth that preserves one's individuality and fosters connection among people, is what the Human Rights are all about. In this paper, the author has made an attempt to analyze many aspects of human rights in India as well as their historical development.
