Its a democracy so every one is free there. If there is some one with a gun roaming around,he would be a wanted criminal. That does not and should not mean that the human rights are not effective.\ncomparitively,its more effective than most other countries.

What the question takes for granted is that there is some entity that can be called 'World Power' with all the accompanying connotations of how that power can be used over others in various ways. The question is not just irrelevant, but also dangerous in that it promotes the desire of and acquisition of power that OVERPOWERS, whereas real power PROTECTS. \nTo answer the question in a limited context, India is making progress here and there; its urban elite earns more and has access to modern technology and many comforts that are perceived as part of a lifystyle worthy of envy and emulation. Yet, there are huge slums in the cities, which portray a stark contrast between urban prosperity and urban poverty, seen as they are side by side. Millions in rural India still suffer for want of basic necessities of life and have little or no access to education and healthcare. \nIt is not only erroneous to speak of India as a world power in the making, it is ridiculous and perhaps even sad to even suggest that transition. The question, in a sense, betrays our preoccupation with POWER. If we instead concentrate on questions relevant to peaceful cooperation and coexistence, we will ensure a better world for all humanity. The least we can do is to refrain from asking such questions and by so doing save ourselves precious time and energy.

The term "human rights" generally refers to the basic protections that most civilized countries afford.\n\nThe most common include freedom from slavery, freedom to marry who you choose, freedom of expression and worship, freedom to own property, freedom from torture and persecution, and so on.\n\nThe details vary by country and applicable law, but the basic idea is that people should be allowed to live their lives in such a way as they choose, as long as they don't harm others in the process.\n\nSadly, many countries (including the US recently) have abandoned this concept in the name of conformity and security.

Looking at the global scenario, government will not able to implement it as foreign investors and industrialist in India will not support it. Also it will be very difficult to implement in practical. I feel its only a political issue and will die its own death after some time.

Amnesty International has outlined the innate rights of all human beings and works for those rights around the world.\n\nThey have a "Bill of Rights" of sorts - the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - http://web.amnesty.org/pages/aboutai-udhr-eng\n\nBut their are no absolute global laws which every nation MUST follow.  We have the UN which is organized to try and work for these things, but it is ultimately up to each government to respect the human rights of it's people.  For example Bush worked his way around the Geneva Convention laws through legal "loop holes" and wiggling his way out of proper behavior, so government Officials get away with crimes often unless the worlds population works to see that justice is done (epically watch their own leaders).

Sadly.No.Not yet.There is still a lot of discrimination in India on the basis of caste,religion,race,ethnicity etc,.But I am sure that as the country progresses and the society evolves all these differences will eventually vanish.GOD BLESS INDIA!

No more birth defects or miscarriages, humans can heal from spinal injuries.  Everyone is 10% more compassionate.  I would increase that with each generation until soon everyone is as compassionate as Gandhi.  And I would demonstrate with no confusion whatsoever that I existed and what my rules are in each language necessary.

Hm mm. very interesting point of view.I feel the human race as a whole is closer to the stars than the jungle.However some would like to halt progress in the hopes they can dominate and control the masses.India is one of the more developed cultures in our time with knowledge and reason they dealt with the Taliban destroying 3,000 year old religious shrines.They dealt with the Islamic intrusion in Cashmere region.So I personally feel the odds of India becoming a welcome member of democracy is better than 50/50.Once the seed has been planted it will grow slow at times fast at others but you will never undo it's growth now that it has been tasted it will fight to survive.India's best days are yet to come.I can't say for sure if it is a true democracy however it is trying hard to be one,give it time and it shall be

Before you asked this question, I never heard of this law. I looked it up and this is very interesting. This law is only in India, correct? It seems as if men are the victims from this law.\n\nFrom once men could have it worse than women? Who knew?

It hasn't.\nHuman rights are a bit more basic, the big three are the right to life, the right to be free from slaveryand the right to be free from torture. \nCivil rights are things like the ability to earn the same wage as someone else doing the same job, other, more legal, governmental, or civil types of issues.

It is a list of international laws laid down by the UN council, it gives the fundamental rights which each human being deserves, including freedom of speech and education.  UN countries must work towards providing these rights for their citizens.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not binding law in any way. It is more an affirmation of the basic rights that the UN is supposed to strive to uphold. The Bill of Rights is binding law in the United States, since it is a part of the Constitution. The source below have more information on both.

Its the thinking of people that needs to undergo change. One major aspect is the law enforcement which can solve 80% of India's woes. To that effect Presidents rule may help in enforcing the same - but it also paves way for misuse of the power.

Looks like another "do my homework" question.\n\nInstead, I'll help you with your research. Unfortunately, you left out the part about WHICH human rights act. However, since you mention European, I'm going to guess EU. \n\nHere's a place you might start: http://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk/issues/human-rights-act.shtml
