Which of the following is responsible for the protection of Human Rights of an individual in India ?
Answer: C
The answer is the welfare state.
In India the duty to protect the rights of the individual rests on the State. The Constitution makes the State responsible for securing fundamental rights and for working towards the welfare goals of the Directive Principles, and it acts through the courts, the human rights commissions and the administration.
Social workers, political parties and the family can promote and defend rights, but none of them carries the legal responsibility or the authority to enforce them. That responsibility belongs to the state.
