Human Rights in India: Historical Perspective

Abstract

The history of human rights dates all the way back to the beginning of time. The modern concept of human rights has developed over thousands of years. Human rights have existed for as long as mankind has, despite the fact that the term seems to have only recently emerged. Since the dawn of time, when man first lived in groups like families, clans, tribes, towns, or nations, human rights have existed in some form or another. They still exist now in the shape of a self-governing global community. 13 Human rights are the culmination of universal human principles that date back thousands of years, not just to the West or even the modern world.
