Desai, A.R."
Violation of democratic rights in India / edited by A.R. Desai v.1; c.1 - Bombay Popular 1986 - 624p.
If eternal vigilance is the price of democracy it is necessary to review from time to time whether the rights of the citizens are protec ted and respected by the Government as also by the society. This work in two volumes is such an attempt.
The United Nations General Assembly passed in 1948 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, opening a new chapter in the history of mankind. India, as a new nation, was a party to this resolution. Later, three international covenants were approved to which also India was a party. In 1950 the Constitution of India was framed incorporat ing in it the fundamental rights for the citizens of India.
Are these fundamental rights guaranteed by the Constitution enjoyed by the people of India? With a desire to know the situation in India Prof. A.R. Desai in this book has made a systematic attempt to record the literature which exposes violation of the legitimate rights of the people against the backdrop of the rights given in the Constitution of India and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
In Part I Prof. Desai has given the text of the Proclamation of the Universal Declara tion of Human Rights and the three covenants. With a view to educating the citizens of the country to know their rights, in Part II, Prof. Desai has given the text of the Fundamental Rights and the limitations of these rights in the Constitution of India itself.
