This edited volume puts together over a score of research oriented studies and review papers, earlier presented at various national and international conferences by eminent scholars from within and outside India. Appended with copious references for further reading, the included pieces are both, theoretical as well as empirical, in nature. They cover a wide range of themes and issues which are directly or indirectly related to Human Rights—child labour, humanitarian law, social justice, violence against women and girl child, indecent representation of women, maintenance of public order and security as a fundamental human right, and role & place of human rights in democracy—and provide thought provoking insights with empirical evidences on the subject, from India and different other developing countries.
