Human Rights in India Is the concept of 'human rights' or the right to live, be respected, protected and to express and profess what you like, a western concept? Or is it something that existed (or violated) in Indian society since ages? We bring a selection of resources that explore its historical background. We are avoiding debates on the current situation, and documenting mostly the historical resources here. If you find any discrepency here, do let us know.
