Item description from seller

Language: English. The great gift of classical and contemporary human thoughts to culture and civilization is the notion of human rights. It is important that different groups of society, particularly disadvantages groups of society, should be recipient of human rights. There are dissimilar human groups living in society who are in need of protection for their human rights. Separate laws for recognition and enforcement of their human rights are needed to be enacted by the state. Much has been said about Human Rights in India by political scientists, legal experts and social scientists but no specific work has been carried out so far in various human groups.
