International law prescribes international norms and principles which are agreed to be followed by all the nations of the world for the maintenance of peace, security and respect among nations. Therefore, all the states are made to enter an international obligation in the form of treaties, conventions, and agreements to act accordingly and legislate their domestic laws based on these treaties, conventions and agreements. India is also a significant contributor in the development of international law and is a signatory to number of international treaties and conventions, based of which India has enacted number of domestic legislations such as human rights, environment laws, labour laws, trade laws, intellectual property rights and many more. But it has been observed that despite being signatory to number of conventions protecting right of individuals, India is still ignorant of the fact that there are certain spheres of human rights which require full-fledged legislations preventing mass killing of individuals belonging to a particular community, religion, caste, ethnic group, culture, or language or in other way, Indian legal system requires a legislation to prevent the crime of Genocide. India has witnessed many incidents of mass killing of individuals belonging to a community, sponsored through state officials. Due to lack of legislation, only few of the culprits have been sentenced for such a heinous crime. This paper has attempted to highlight few of those events that has created outrage among the people leading to human rights violation and which have remained undealt by the government due to poor legislation. Thus, India must fulfil its prime obligation to enact genocide law to deliver justice to the victims of genocide in India. .
