TRUTH OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN INDIA

Recently I was in debate with a friend that in India we are even devoid of our Basic Human Rights. However after the discussion we found we are wrong. All the citizens of India , including people grieved by the 498A /DV etc. enjoy all the 30 basic Human Rights as per the Guidelines
of UNO.

Oh ! there are minor modifications though , as given below.



Human Right 1. We are all free and equal. We are all born free. We all have our
own thoughts and ideas. We should all be treated in the same way.
Indian Modification:
You are free to think whatever you want. But the government and the
judiciary are also free to treat you the way they want. We are all equal, equal
to animals.



Human Right 2. Don't discriminate. These rights belong to everybody, whatever
our differences.
Indian Modification:
The govt. and courts are not discriminating. They are treating you in
the same way they treat hardcore criminals and terrorists-GUILTY, TILL YOU BRIBE


Human Right 3. The right to life. We all have the right to life, and to live in
freedom and safety.
Indian Modification:
Of course you have got the right to life. What if the life is a hell for
you?



Human Right 4. Slavery â€" past and present. Nobody has any right to make us a
slave. We cannot make anyone our slave.
Indian Modification:
Who says we are treated like slaves? Even slaves get better treatment.


Human Right 5. Torture. Nobody has any right to hurt us or to torture us.
Indian Modification:
In India torture is defined as when someone dies in police
custody.Nothing prior to that is cruelty.



Human Right 6. We all have the same right to use the law. I am a person just
like you!
Indian Modification:
Of course you can use law. But LAW is an extinct species in India?



Human Right 7. We are all protected by the law. The law is the same for
everyone. It must treat us all fairly.
Indian Modification:
Law protects us all. While wives get protection in your houses, you get
the same in jail.



Human Right 8. Fair treatment by fair courts. We can all ask for the law to
help us when we are not treated fairly.
Indian Modification:
You are treated fairly. Ask the courts. Whether you are treated fairly
or not is to be decided by the courts. Whether courts are fair or not is also to
be decided by courts.Courts have already granted you so many reliefs by
forgiving your life.



Human Right 9. Unfair detainment. Nobody has the right to put us in prison
without a good reason and keep us there, or to send us away from our country.
Indian Modification:
Courts are not sending you in prison without good reason. Don’t you
think a matter of several lacs of rupees a reason good enough for sending you to
prison?



Human Right 10. The right to trial. If we are put on trial this should be in
public. The people who try us should not let anyone tell them what to do..
Indian Modification:Still want more trial?



Human Right 11. Innocent until proven guilty. Nobody should be blamed for doing
something until it is proven. When people say we did a bad thing we have the
right to show it is not true.
Indian Modification:
Implemented in India in slightly different way. You are innocent till
you marry.




Human Right 12. The right to privacy. Nobody should try to harm our good name.
Nobody has the right to come into our home, open our letters or bother us or our
family without a good reason.
Indian Modification:
In this age of transparency and right to information implemented on the
bureaucracy , how can you cattle citizens expect right to privacy.


Human Right 13. Freedom to move. We all have the right to go where we want in
our own country and to travel as we wish.
Indian Modification:
Yes. That’s why courts want you to travel from one state to another
defending your cases


Human Right 14. The right to asylum. If we are frightened of being badly treated
in our own country, we all have the right to run away to another country to be
safe.
Indian Modification:
Indeed the govt want you all to leave the country and settle abroad by
hook or crook. That’s why they treat you badly. Another reason for flourishing
"kabbootarbazi " business.


Human Right 15. The right to a nationality. We all have the right to belong to a
country.
Indian Modification:
You have right to call yourself an Indian. So you deserve all the bad
treatment as an Indian.


Human Right 16. Marriage and family. Every grown-up has the right to marry and
have a family if they want to. Men and women have the same rights when they are
married, and when they are separated.
Indian Modification:
STRICT Advice: Either don’t marry or don’t get separated after
marriage.


Human Right 17. Your own things. Everyone has the right to own things or share
them. Nobody should take our things from us without a good reason.
Indian Modification:
Of course you have a right to own things. But in India its your duty to
share them also including your hard-earned money, property and even wife with
police and judges.


Human Right 18. Freedom of thought. We all have the right to believe in what we
want to believe, to have a religion, or to change it if we want.
Indian Modification:
You also have a right to change your sex from male to female. Should
all men do that? Perhaps feminists want this.


Human Right 19. Free to say what you want. We all have the right to make up our
own minds, to think what we like, to say what we think, and to share our ideas
with other people.
Indian Modification:
Of course you are free to say or think what you want. So are the police
and judges, however absurd it may be.


Human Right 20. Meet where you like. We all have the right to meet our friends
and to work together in peace to defend our rights. Nobody can make us join a
group if we don't want to.
Indian Modification:
Of course you have a right to defend your rights, but do you have any
rights at all to defend?


Human Right 21. The right to democracy. We all have the right to take part in
the government of our country. Every grown-up should be allowed to choose their
own leaders.
Indian Modification:
Democracy is a govt. of the people, by the people, for the people.
Indian govt. is of the pimps, by the police, for the prostitutes.


Human Right 22. The right to social security. We all have the right to
affordable housing, medicine, education, and child care, enough money to live on
and medical help if we are ill or old.
Indian Modification:
You have all these rights if you are not a man.


Human Right 23. Workers' rights. Every grown-up has the right to do a job, to a
fair wage for their work, and to join a trade union.
Indian Modification:
You have got this right. The only condition is that 90% of what you earn
should go to your bitter half, lawyers, police and judges.


Human Right 24. The right to play. We all have the right to rest from work and
to relax.
Indian Modification:
But with all the court cases where is the time to work or relax?


Human Right 25. A bed and some food. We all have the right to a good life.
Mothers and children, people who are old, unemployed or disabled, and all people
have the right to be cared for.
Indian Modification:
You have right to a bed. But don’t think about bedmate.


Human Right 26. The right to education. Education is a right. Primary school
should be free. We should learn about the United Nations and how to get on with
others. Our parents can choose what we learn.
Indian Modification:
Better not to get education. First you get educated, then you get a good
job, then you marry and then…


Human Right 27. Culture and copyright. Copyright is a special law that protects
one's own artistic creations and writings; others cannot make copies without
permission. We all have the right to our own way of life and to enjoy the good
things that "art," science and learning bring.
Indian Modification:
In Indian culture, everything from needle to aeroplane, from copyright
act to the entire constitution are copied from other countries. Copying a copy
is no offence


Human Right 28. A free and fair world. There must be proper order so we can all
enjoy rights and freedoms in our own country and all over the world.
Indian Modification:
You can enjoy your rights, but where are the rights?


Human Right 29. Our responsibilities. We have a duty to other people, and we
should protect their rights and freedoms.
Indian Modification:
Other people mean your vicious wife.


Human Right 30. Nobody can take away these rights and freedoms from us.

Indian Modification:
How can anybody take away something from you that you don’t have?


And why should we feel ashamed? When the judges are not ashamed even when they
are caught taking cash, when parents are not ashamed of living on their
daughters’ income, when the police are not ashamed of helping the criminals,
why should you? Shame is not in our culture.
