Aswini K. Ray, The Indian experience of the fight for "human rights"
This article examines the problems posed by the very concept of human rights and its practical implementation in the Indian context. The contradictions and gaps which result from the integration of this concept into a very different cultural and economic context from that in which it originated are carefully examined here. The Indian example is particularly revealing as regards the fundamental relations which these contradictions have on the intellectual level with the colonial heritage and the structures of State and society.
"Revivalism" is analysed from this point of view.
Although focused on the Indian situation, this article nevertheless has a distinct general bearing on third world countries as a whole. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
