Whither Human Rights in India

Whither Human Rights in India, edited by Anand Teltumbde, one of India's prominent human rights activists, is a searing and indispensable anthology that brings together some of the most important thinkers, activists and human rights defenders of our time. The essays trace the historical and ideological roots of India’s human rights discourse―from colonial legacies and constitutional guarantees to the challenges posed by majoritarian politics, state violence and systemic inequality.
