Rights, Mobility of Citizens and Language Choice in India

Prof. B. Mallikarjun, M.A., Ph.D.

1.0 Rights

The twentieth century is recognized as a century of appreciation and recognition of rights of world citizens, ‘the age of rights’. They are consolidated and codified through charters, constitutions, and legislation etc., of different kinds in the concerned nations. The twenty first century is expected to be the century where discriminations of various kinds among the people in the world are to end and a social order based on equality may emerge. India too has codified the rights of its citizens in its Constitution and through various legislations in the past decades. Also, signed different international agreements and naturally has agreed to abide by them. The canvas of rights in the world is very vast since everyone is more concerned about his or her rights and less bothered to about the obligations / duties. It is nothing but natural. Similarly, the literature relating to granting, interpreting etc., of rights is also very fast growing. There are rights guaranteed by the nations and the rights guaranteed by the international treaties, agreements etc,. Rich literature exists on it. Formulation of legislations, codification and their implementation and the affected seeking judicial remedy is a regular phenomenon. This results in the interpretation of concerned rights / law. One can find changes in their interpretation according to social, economic and political situations. This makes rights and their interpretation a dynamic process.
