It gives me immense pleasure to inform you that I am going to publish two Edited books on the above mentioned themes. The books will be published by recognized publishers. Contributors will not be charged any fee for publication. Hope to get the books published before the Book Fair in February 2015. 

Title of the Book: “Human Rights Education: Issues and Challenges.”

Language- English

Concept Note

Human Rights Education cuts across all disciplines and can be defined as education, training and information aimed at building a universal culture of human values and rights. Further, human rights education encompasses developing values and reinforcing attitudes and behavior which uphold human rights ethics and defend and promote human rights action.  It is a great challenge to educate the youth to gain knowledge of human rights and its mechanisms and also to develop the skills needed to promote, defend and apply human rights in daily life. The manner in which Indian habitat is changing and transforming with great impact on our lives, the Human Rights Education should be given priority.

Human Rights Education should be differentiated from the Human Rights Laws although both are closely related. While Human Rights Education provides the historical, social, philosophical and political context of human rights, Human Rights Laws provide the legal framework for the protection and implementation of Human Rights. It may be noted that Human Rights Education has relevance at almost all the stages of education. The study of Human Rights Laws, on the other hand, is a specialized kind of activity and training. This distinction needs to be kept in mind while addressing the issues and challenges of Human Rights Education.

Human Rights Education has assumed a new significance with a growing global concern that new generation should be sensitized on human rights issues. The process of globalization and the changing global order, in which, the borders are losing importance, bringing nations and people together, further underline the importance of the issue.

    Concept Note  

    Violence against women is rooted in global culture that discriminates and denies them equal rights with men. Even today, women work more than men but earn less, eat last and least, own less property and have minimal access to education, employment, housing and healthcare in comparison to men. This global culture of discrimination denies them human rights and legitimizes the violent appropriation of women bodies for the gratification of men’s needs and sweet will. Cultural and religious values rooted in unequal power relation between man and woman, justify the abrupt denial of human rights to women. Be it right to life or security, food or health care, women are denied access to humane conditions of life.  Being marginalized, they have no right to speak or to be heard and become victims of many kinds of inhuman atrocities and are often out of the development agenda. But, as the nobel laureate Prof. Amartya Sen says, “India must focus on its women” we must change our negligent attitude towards them. The time has come to a full circle. We cannot afford to discriminate against women and continue with our custom of shunning their desires, cutting their tongues and changing them into stones or nightingales like Ahilya or Philomela. We have to check and stop the physical and mental violence against them immediately but how to provide them safety and security in a violent world, is a million dollar question. Even in a country like India, which believes in a culture of respect to motherhood, the infanticide takes place, a small girl takes care of her siblings and works at home and outside while her brother goes to school, a wife is beaten and the daughter is unwanted and undernourished. Women of any age as young as one year and as old as 70 years are raped and killed. The most unfortunate part of the story is that younger generation is also infected and has grown cruel to girls and has no regard to any kind of human values and action. The book aims at discussing all such issues related to woman and violence with these soul rending words,

                      “Maa mere pankh de do main udna chahti hun

                      Meri kitaben de do main padhna chahti hun

                      Mujhe apne garbh men palne to do

                      Main bhi jeena chahti hun”.
