Basics of Human Rights and Indian Knowledge System

Author(s) Dr. Bijaya Konwar
Country India
Abstract Human rights are universally acknowledged as fundamental rights and liberties important for dignity and advancement of every individual. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), which was adopted in 1948, gave the contemporary idea of human rights, but its origins may be found in ancient Indian cultures. Profound concepts about human dignity, equality, fairness, compassion, non-violence, and social welfare may be found in one of the world's oldest intellectual and spiritual traditions, the Indian Knowledge System (IKS). The ethical underpinnings contained in ancient Indian scriptures including the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Buddhist Tripitaka, Jain Agamas, Arthashastra, and the teachings of Bhakti and Sufi saints strongly align with contemporary human rights ideals. This article explores the fundamentals of human rights within the Indian Knowledge System with an emphasis on philosophical foundation, moral obligations, equality, governance, social justice, and general welfare. It also explores how does these old ideas are to modern society and constitutional democracy applicable. The article makes the case that by integrating rights with duties, morality, and spiritual duty, the Indian Knowledge System provides a holistic understanding of human rights.
Keywords Keywords: Buddhism, Constitution, Dharma, Human Rights, Indian Philosophy, and Indian Knowledge System.
