Abstract

ABSTRACT: The value of life is central to human rights. All human beings are born free. The fundamental freedoms include the right to liberty, freedom from slavery, as well as freedom from caste oppression, torture, cruel inhuman or degrading treatment and freedom of thought and speech. Despite these morals, Human rights violation has become a worldwide phenomenon and is increasing day by day in developing countries like India. Not a single day passes without papers reporting on violation of human rights in India. The vulnerable sections like Dalits, adivasis, women, children, minorities and other groups are discriminated without any fault of their own. In this paper, an attempt has been made to highlight on the theoretical analysis of the violation of human rights of Dalits. But how the human rights of such Dalit people are being violated despite extensive constitutional and legal protections against such violations? This is the chief objective of this paper.
