Current research and factual data from all over the world have revealed different types of abuse taking place within the family which highlights the necessity to address the issue of family violence. However at societal level family matters are still seen as a private domain not to be intervened due to the culture of silence. Looking at the issue of family violence in the human rights perspective and the legal context this volume explores the socio cultural factors and the patriarchal prerogatives enmeshed in the process of development and globalization in India. The need for both qualitative and quantitative research is demonstrated through the articles. The volume presents cross cultural research in order to balance the local and global perspectives (including countries such as U.S. Canada Germany U.K. France and Armenia). With the human rights perspective the papers present complexities of intervention different aspects of violence within the family and against the special groups contextual issues and limitations and Dilemmas of ideologies and the local barriers to intervention strategies. Collectively they show some direction of social change and therefore will be of immense help to those interested in the subject. 484 pp.

They are the great ethical yardstick that is used to measure a government's treatment to its people. A broad consensus has emerged in the twentieth century on rhetoric that frames judgment of nations against an international moral code prescribing certain benefits and treatment for all humans simply because they are human. Human rights are as old as human civilization, but their use and relevance have been well defined during the recent years. It has gathered more importance in the post-second-world war period, particularly after the Untied Nation's declaration of Human Rights (UNDHR) in 1948. Human Rights stand for dignified existence of human beings. This book is multidimensional in character with a focus on recurring human rights issues in contemporary India. The book aims at identifying a number of specific human rights issues in India which requires immediate intervention of both state and non-state actors. It also aims to be a reference book for the under-graduate and post-graduate students who want to have an in-depth understating of the contemporary human rights issues in Indian society. (jacket).
