Status of marginalized groups and human rights in India

The Research paper explores the human rights landscape for marginalized groups in India, focusing on issues related to caste, gender, religion, ethnicity, and socio-economic disparities. It delves into systemic challenges obstructing these groups’ rights, examining legal frameworks, societal attitudes, and historical contexts. Additionally, it addresses the intersectionality within marginalized communities and how it impacts their access to rights. The paper analyzes policies, case studies, and grassroots movements to propose strategies for a more inclusive society. Despite legal progress, marginalized groups, including Dalits, tribal communities, women, LGBTQ+ individuals, religious minorities, refugees, migrants, and human rights defenders, continue to face discrimination and obstacles in accessing rights and opportunities. Effective implementation and social change are vital for achieving equality in India.
