The socio-economic conditions in India call for safeguarding the right to social security of all those categories of workers, who face systematic discrimination both in the public and private sectors. The situation is grave in the private sector, where there is neither a reservation system nor an antidiscrimination law to prevent discrimination. There is prevailing fearlessness of the use of violent methods for fulfilling personal greed and objectives which in terms affects the right to freedom and right to life and liberty guaranteed by the Indian Constitution.

India must meet the human rights accountability challenge posed by the contents of its own Constitution and the international human rights instruments it had ratified. To meet this enormous challenge, nothing but a radical shift in economic, security and social policy is needed. It is hoped that India’s second UPR will provide solid recommendations to make such a radical change possible, which is urgently required to reverse the adverse human rights situation faced by a significant part of the people of India.

The Inter-University National Debate Competition on “Is Indian Constitution the Guardian of Human Rights?” will help in generating awareness regarding the prevalent human rights violations and in providing some answers to this burning issue.
