I have written this book for learners who have an interest in understanding inclusivity and fundamental freedoms.
The book traces the evolution of Human Rights from ancient times to modern concerns. It speaks of the connection of human values with world scriptures and thought systems embodied in Indian greats such as Ashoka, Mahatma Gandhi and B.R. Ambedkar. The book records the rights of indigenous communities and their role in maintaining human values and ancient Indian knowledge. Readers will learn of man-animal conflict in the right context. Gender stereotyping, racism, and right to worship by all genders are modern issues that the book discusses with modern day examples and case studies.
The book explores the role of a growth mindset in the promotion of ethical lifestyle choices and a healthy value system as the way forward in a vastly changing and complex world. Readers will acquire a respect for fundamental freedoms on completion of the book. It will lead them to reflect. It will empower them as responsible citizens with a global outlook.
