Human rights are those rights which are fundamental for the survival of people and their life. Human rights have been instilled in society right from the starting of human civilization. Especially the concept of  ‘वसुधैव कुटुम्बकम्‘ contains the soul of human civilization. The ‘Rig Veda‘, the oldest document of the Indians declared all human creatures are equal & respect each other’s human rights. The ‘Atharva Veda’ advocated the same thing. In addition to this, ancient India focused on the principle that one person’s right is another person’s obligation.

समानी व आकूति: समाना ह्रदयानि व:। समानमस्तु वो मनो यथा व: सुसहासति॥

Rigveda 8.49.4

Mean:- United be your purpose, harmonious be your feelings, collected be your mind, in the same way as all the various aspects of the universe exist in togetherness, wholeness.

विद्याविनयसम्पन्ने ब्राह्मणे गवि हस्तिनि | शुनि चैव श्वपाके च पण्डिता: समदर्शिन: || 18||

Mean:- The truly learned, with the eyes of divine knowledge, see with equal vision a Brahmin, a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater.

Human rights are the basic rights available to any human being by virtue of his birth in human race. It is inherent in all human beings irrespective of their nationality, religion, language, sex, colour or any other consideration. The Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 defines Human Rights as: “human rights” means the rights relating to life, liberty, equality and dignity of the individual guaranteed by the Constitution or embodied in the International Covenants and enforceable by courts in India”.

On January 24, 1947, Constituent Assembly voted to form an advisory committee on Fundamental Rights with Sardar Patel as the Chairman. Drafted list of rights were prepared by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, B. N. Rau, K. T. Shah, Harman Singh, K. M. Musnshi and the Congress expert committee. Although there were few amendments proposed, there was almost no disagreement on the principles incorporated. The rights in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights were almost completely covered in the Indian Constitution either in Fundamental Rights or Directive Principles of State Policy. Nineteen fundamental rights were covered in Motilal Nehru Committee Report, 1928 out of which ten appear in the Fundamental Rights whereas three of them appear as Fundamental Duties.
