Idea of the seminar
Since the idea and philosophy of the human rights is the direct outcome of the two world wars fought in the name of saving humanity and in addition to it business and power interest added new dimensions to the idea of human rights. Peace initiatives taken by the west in the name of U.N.O and other peace keeping agencies certainly put a question mark on the human race that - Is human mind basically a criminal mind? If not then why human race has not been able to live peacefully, why there is always a violation of human life and dignity, who gave us the right to go to the other cultures and civilizations and tell them -look, You are backward and underdeveloped so we will teach you how to develop and progress. Reaching out to other cultures, civilizations and to modernize them with the intentions of business and religion have not only created a chaos like situation world over but also lead the humanity to think in terms of survival of the fittest and added to it that sex is the ultimate goal. So, the basic foundation of the modern thinking and practices has generated the idea of human rights from this particular angle only. Because it has become a reality for all the nations to follow the same, it has become a national and international law so scholars, intellectual and academicians must try to understand and evaluate the hidden intention, the spirit of the words, their impact on masses, states, nations not only for humanity sake but also that could usher a new direction and insights to the upcoming new generation of human race.
Moreover, can human rights be interpreted in a sense-that is capable of giving a rightful place to every human being, group, society or race to accomplish, for what they are born for ? Lot many arguments for and against can be put forward but the basic question remains the same i.e. with so many events, things happening around all over the world, can we as human beings hope for a better future for entire humanity as such or can we, in any way, assure or promise the upcoming generation about a safe and peaceful world ? Human rights and its idea or philosophy needs to be understood and focused genuinely in the terms of India as a nation as a culture, as a way of life in the form of deologies and practices, therefore, the burning need of present hour is not only to rethink but also to penetrate into the idea of human rights in relation to Indian ethos or else let it be proved that India had been uncivilized and a barbaric country.
While concentrating and trying to find out as to how the Indian mind thought about the human rights and what did they practiced or what terms did they use for human rights or how did they deal with situations regarding the human rights or what was there understanding of human rights ? It is requested that an overall view about the same must be taken into consideration. It is with this hope that the proposed seminar on human rights will come with fruitful ideas & concrete suggestions. This two-days National Seminar being organized for this kind of hard and fruitful thinking.
