India the land of holistic culture has always given importance to life and its potential. However, one often connects life with freedom. If freedom is to be ascertained as the definition of right, this then leads to absolutism which can create chaos and disorder. Many believe that human rights only have a nominal role in identifying legal rights, but the essence ofthe theory is that the concept of human rights has surpassed its ability in interpreting justice. An attempt to understand various cultures by exploring the aspects of their belief systems which teach and propagate the value of human rights is made here. Crossing cultural, religious, linguistic and racial differences makes us realise that the suffering of any single individual affects the consciousness of mankind; because every human being is connected to the others.
