Human rights are the basic entitlements, bestowed upon each and every human being by virtue of birth. Human rights are moral principles or norms, which describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights in both national and international law^, as they are usually known as inalienable fundamental rights “to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being,” and which are “inherent in all human beings” regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status. Human Rights may include freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, and execution. Every person in this world has its own rights like as right to life, liberty and equality in his society. Human rights are universal values and legal guarantees that serves and gives protection to all individuals and groups against actions and omissions primarily by the state agents that interfere with fundamental freedoms, entitlements and human dignity. Human right law obliges Governments (principally) and other duty bearers to do certain things prevent them from doing others. Human rights are (law) any basic right or freedom to which all human beings are entitled and in whose exercise a Government may not interfere (including rights to life and liberty as well as freedom of thought and expression and equality before the law). In Indian context Human Rights were related to the concept of Sarvodaya means “Universal upliftment of man” as called by M.K Gandhi and also J.L Nehru’s concept of human rights was “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 the time immemorial.
