India is a country with unique populations in the world. There are many cultures and many religions; live in harmony. The unity in their diversity is appealing. Human rights abuses have not improved despite the differences between the country and human rights abroad. Generally, all people had to respect everyone. But, in the name of religion, caste, color, names etc. violations of human rights are continued. In fact, the state is a social construction and human rights are the legal outputs. The paper proposes an alternative remedy the human rights issues in Indian context that is Ambedkar’s thought which can be better qualified as Ambedkarism; a social medicine for caste-ridden sick Indian social order. The present paper explores Ambedkar’s perspective on human rights.
