Question

Why do we always look outside when talking about human rights violations? Don't we have examples from our own country?

Answer 1

Human rights violations occur within countries as well as outside them. In India, examples include caste-based discrimination, communal violence, custodial violence, violence against women, exploitation of children, displacement of tribal communities and suppression of dissent. These examples show that protecting people from internal violence and ensuring dignity, equality and freedom are essential parts of human security.
