Human Rights in South Asia [Hardcover]

Language: English. The concept of human rights is necessarily evolving in nature apace with the evolution of human civilization in the context of a changing social, political, economic and cultural milieu. This book aims to present a general overview of the human rights situation in South Asia. The ethos and problems of a developing ancient oriental society like India must first be understood before an acceptable standard of rights, performance assessment is evolved. Indeed, the nondirigible rights to life and dignity do provide a universal bottom line. Yet, to look at a society purely through that lookingglass is to ignore the ground realities in the midst of which the human rights culture has to nurture.
