The idea of human rights though of comparatively recent origin, is about the perennial search of human being for good life. International concern for human rights, human welfare and human dignity has evolved along with the evolution of the state system and of the process of organising the international system of states. The human civilisation has always had concern for human rights throughout history. Ancient civilizations such as the Indian have had a world view of human welfare. They spoke of the entire world to be one, single, large family – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam. Their religious prayers often sought peace and prosperity for all beings of the universe. India being the largest democracy in the world always pays high respect towards protection and promotion of human rights. As Justice Krishna Iyer has rightly pointed out: “The human rights heritage of Bharat, in its modern verbal append, may be traced to the constitution of India which marks the watershed in this sublime branch of jurisprudence.” The preamble to the Indian constitution, the fundamental Rights mentioned in part III, the Directive Principle of state Policies (Part IV) and the Fundamental Duties mentioned in Part IV(A) constitute the human rights framework in the constitution of India. Thus, the realization of the human rights in India is not as much a question of individuals” claim against the state as of the responsibility of the state. Whether the individual asks for his rights or not the state must secure them to him. It is not merely an expectation from the state based on any principle of morality, fairness or international law but a constitutional command” The basic philosophy of our constitution is welfare. One cannot speak of welfare state without taking care of the millions of this poor and the downtrodden, at the same time ensuring the rights and dignities of all citizen. The Preamble, the Fundamental Rights and The Directive Principles of the State Policy constitute the core of constitutional philosophy. In the Preamble, one finds the soul, the objectives and philosophy of the constitution. The need for justice, social, economic and political, fraternity and dignity of individual are the objectives for which the people have given the constitution to themselves. In the Fundamental Rights one finds individual right philosophy
