Abstract

In today's unjust and turbulent times many assume a democratic form of government to be the best assurance against rights violation. In theory citizens living under a government that is of the people and by the people stand a better chance of having their human rights codified into positive law. But is this thesis universally valid? The paper puts it to the test in the Indian scenario. By making a case study of the state of women rights in India, an attempt has been made to make a critical evaluation of the role of the Indian parliamentary democracy, as the guardian of human rights of its citizens.
