The essays trace the historical and ideological roots of India’s human rights discourse—from colonial legacies and constitutional guarantees to the challenges posed by majoritarian politics, state violence and systemic inequality.

Contributors critically examine institutions and practices shaping the current landscape: judicial responses, hate speech, impunity, ‘bulldozer justice’ and contested models of development. They also turn to the lived realities of vulnerable communities—Dalits, Adivasis, Muslims, Christians, women, children, LGBTQI+ people and prisoners—whose struggles for dignity illuminate the larger battle for justice and democracy.

Featuring incisive contributions from Harsh Mander, Kalpana Kannabiran, Aakar Patel, Teesta Setalvad, Gautam Navlakha, Mihir Desai and others, this volume offers an unflinching exploration of human rights at a critical juncture in India’s history.

Dedicated to the memory of Father Stan Swamy and Prof. G. N. Saibaba, Whither Human Rights in India is both a record of resistance and a call to rethink the future of democracy and human dignity.  aCivil and political rights / Human rights  aHistorical, geographic, persons treatment  aIndia  aAnand Teltumbde  cLEN  2ddc  2ddc  00102ddc40708NFICaMAINbMAINcGENd2026-01-03ePurchasedg1299.00i2696,2026/01/01l1o323.0954 WHIpE1102508r2026-02-19 14:37:43s2026-01-09w2026-01-03yLEN  c197586d197586
