“Human Rights And Social Justice In India: Challenges, Progress, And Pathways To Equity”
Human rights and social justice are foundational concepts for a just and equitable society, ensuring that all individuals receive fair treatment, dignity, and equality. In India, the principles of human rights and social justice are central to addressing widespread socio-economic inequalities, cultural diversity, and the challenges posed by a complex legal and social landscape. This article explores the evolution, implementation, and ongoing struggles of these concepts within the Indian context. It delves into key challenges such as poverty, caste discrimination, gender inequality, and access to resources, which continue to hinder the realization of equitable rights for all citizens. By examining legislative measures, policy reforms, and community-led initiatives, the article highlights India’s progress toward inclusive development while acknowledging persistent gaps. Through a comparative and analytical approach, the study proposes pathways for achieving greater equity and recommends actionable strategies for strengthening India’s commitment to human rights and social justice
