This volume presents an integrated collection of essays around the
theme of India's failure to grapple with the big questions of human
rights protections affecting marginalized minority groups in the
country's recent rush to modernization. The book traverses a broad
range of rights violations from: gender equality to sexual
orientation, from judicial review of national security law to
national security concerns, from water rights to forest rights of
those in need, and from the persecution of Muslims in Gulberg to
India's parallel legal system of Lok Adalats to resolve disputes.
It calls into question India's claim to be a contemporary liberal
democracy. The thesis is given added strength by the authors'
diverse perspectives which ultimately create a synergy that
stimulates the thinking of the entire field of human rights, but in
the context of a non-western country, thereby prompting many
specialists in human rights to think in new ways about their
research and the direction of the field, both in India and beyond.
In an area that has been under-researched, the work will provide
valuable guidance for new research ideas, experimental designs and
analyses in key cutting-edge issues covered in this work, such as
acid attacks or the right to protest against the 'nuclear' state in
India.
