State, Human Rights and Marginalized Groups: Contemporary Discourses and Concerns

This book delves into the theoretical foundations of human rights, examining the historical milestones, contemporary challenges, state-induced violations, and the multifaceted nature of human rights violations against marginalized groups, including the denial of basic rights. The book consists of 12 chapters that elucidate the multidimensional nature of Human rights violations impacting diverse groups and communities, such as Women, Dalits, Adivasis, Manual Scavengers, Trans men, religious minorities, human rights and climate change and human rights in cyber space. It is a fact that the struggle for human rights is intrinsically tied to the fight against marginalization. Hence, the objective behind this initiative lies in the profound commitment to justice and the belief that acknowledging the specific challenges faced by marginalized groups is essential for the advancement of human rights as a whole. The book not merely to articulate the constraints faced by marginalized groups but also to serves as an impulse for fostering a more inclusive society by presenting comprehensive measures. I hope this book may serve as a catalyst for thoughtful engagement, spark conversations, prompt critical reflections, and contribute to the ongoing discussions aimed at creating societies where the principles of justice and equality are not mere ideals but living realities for all.…
