Human Rights, Societies and Role of Government
India is a vast country; the social fabric of Indian society is well knitted with many societies. It's a good example of amalgamation of cultures, aboriginals, beliefs and their different religions. The country is ruled from ancient times by many kings, dynasties and government. Many laws were made in colonial time by British rulers, which were helpful for their ruling system over India. Human rights had no meaning in that era and law became a tool for colonial India.
In this world of information both the government and societies are aware of human rights, separate law courts, human rights watch agencies, public awareness programmes are working for the same cause.
In independent India for the first time the law department of government of India identified several such laws and removed them. This historical action set a milestone.
