“Knowledge
will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors
must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.” - James Madison
The consciousness of social
security comes to a man when he feels that he is getting his rights. Human
Rights are related to those rights which are related to man’s life, freedom,
equality and self-esteem, are established by Indian constitution or universal
declaration of human rights and implemented by Indian judiciary system. In
other words, “Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever
our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, color,
religion, language, or any other status.”1 We are all equally
entitled to our human rights without discrimination. But we when come the
present conditions of Indian society, it is painful to say we find lots of
discrimination and violations of human rights is a common problem. In this
paper it is an attempt is made to describe that casteism cause social
insecurity and is a form of violation of human rights.
