The most important aspect of humanity is human rights. This has all along been under attack. The attacks are committed not only by the parts and parcels of the government, judiciary and administration but by everyone, in all possible manners. The book in your hand is another effort to explain the veracity of the prevailing situation. The present book has tried to present a true picture of the society by giving a detailed overview and discussed its relevance in different walks of life.
Metamorphic rise of terrorism, continuance of ethnic violence, upsurge in naxal violence, large-scale human rights violation by different state agencies, poverty, starvation, criminalization of politics are but symptoms of an unhealthy statecraft. We cannot afford to shy away from some basic questions. There is an urgent need for each and every one to come forward to address the issues from human rights perspective, which are so far been neglected. The key challenge of the future is how to enhance the University of human rights by rooting the rights in different cultural traditions.
