Weapon of the Oppressed: An Inventory of People's Rights in India

 
Manoranjan Mohanty (Editor) Lakshmi Mishra (Editor)
Synopsis
The world is witnessing an unprecedented surge of human consciousness in recognition of the worth of individuals, groups and regions everywhere on earth. This is clearly discernible in India as there is more understanding about the rights of all human beings to dignity, livelihood and appropriate conditions for realizing their creative potentiality. The people’s movements, the experience of parliamentary democracy, expansion of education and communication as well as the process of economic development have vastly redefined the form and content of rights of people.

This document designed as a handbook for social activists, scholars and administrators or anyone trying to defend a right, provides social category-wise listing and cross-listing of people’s rights in India as recognized under constitutional provisions, legislations, judicial decisions, international instruments, government policies, and relevant institutions.
