Provisions of Human Rights In The Indian Constitution The Constitution of India is one of the lengthiest Constitutions of the world which covers almost all aspects of people. It gives equal status to all religions in India. Dr B R Ambedkar played a leading role in framing the Constitution of India. He is known as the Father of Indian Constitution. The situation of human rights in India is complex, due to large size, tremendous diversity, its status as a developing country, and history as a former colonial territory.

Indian media has, created channels to let human rights violations come to the notice to public consciousness. Now day's media has almost reached at every corner of village or town be it remote or developed. The Constitution of India is one of the most rights- based constitutions in the world.

Child marriage, untouchability etc.thus by the mid 1920's the Indian National Congress had already adopted most of the civil and political rights in its agenda.
