Abstract: Since the days of the lndus Valley Civilization, Indian culture has been the product of a synthesis of diverse cultures and religions that came into contact with the enormous Indian sub continent over a very long stretch of time. As Jawaharlal Nehru notes, there is "an unbroken continuity between the most: modern and the most ancient phases of Hindu thought extending over- three thousand years."' The rights of man have been the concern of all civilizations from time immemorial. "The concept of the rights of man and other fundamental rights was not unknown to the people of earlier periods."' The Babylonian Laws and the Assyrian laws in the Middle East, the "Dharma" of the Vedic period in India and the jurisprudence of Lao-Tze and Confucius in China, have championed human rights the history of human civilization. Human Rights are generally defined as the rights which every human being is entitled to enjoy and to have protected. Human rights are commonly understood as “inalienable fundamental rights to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being.” Human Rights mean the rights relating to life, liberty, equality and dignity of the individual guaranteed under the Constitution or embodied in the International Covenants and enforceable by courts. Human rights are thus conceived as universal (applicable everywhere) and egalitarian (the same for everyone). These rights may exist as natural rights or as legal rights, in both national and international law. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in 1948 and two International Covenants were adopted in 1966 codifying the two sets of rights outlined in the Universal Declaration. International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights entered into force in 1976.The circumstance of human rights in India is unpredictable, because of extensive size, colossal decent variety, its status as a creating nation, and history as a previous frontier region. Hence, this paper discusses about the human rights and the Indian constitution that is the paper deals with the provisions in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which are similar to that of the provisions in our Indian Constitution. The struggle for the recognition of human rights and the struggle against political, economic, social and cultural oppression, against injustice and inequalities, have been an integral part of the history of all human societies.
