Abstract:
The Human Rights Movement in India, unlike its counterpart in post-colonial societies, has established itself as a strong and vibrant nationwide movement against the repressive state approach and adverse power structure of traditional society. Democratic process and institutions, free press, independent judiciary and National Human Rights Commission have positively contributed in strengthening its base while on the other hand various developments within and outside the movement has created formidable challenges before the Indian HRM.Though human rights organizations have undergone significant changes in their nature, functions, objectives and priorities in response to the changing dynamics of human rights violation, role of state, social institutions and processes since emergency but they still face many challenges. This paper is a moderate attempt to highlight the major dilemmas and challenges before the HRM and to identify its inherent weaknesses that hinder it from becoming a movement addressing the human rights of the masses in the present day of globalization.
