According to the architects of our constitution, the socio-economic growth of our country and the amity and the unity among people can not be thought of without giving due regard to human rights. Human rights are the fundamental rights, which are essential for man to lead a dignified life. Human rights include that should be enjoyed by every individual irrespective of class, gender, age, caste, religion, language, creed, status and beliefs. Human Rights include right to life, right to adequate food, right to shelter, right to clothes, right to population free air, right to noise free surrounding, right to have safe drinking water, right to vote, right to participate in all social,  economic and political activities, right to embrace and religion, right to speak and so on. The book on Human Rights Violation brings to light the various forms of human rights violation. Of the various forms of human rights violation, a detailed explanation is given about violations against four vulnerable groups, namely; women, dalits and tribal people, children and religious minorities. The socio-economic impact of human rights violation is also dealt with in detail and with clarity.
