Summary/Abstract

The credit for bringing the Human Rights issue into public consciousness and making it a major concern of public interest in India goes ironically to terrorism. With the outbreak of terrorism in Punjab in 1980s necessitating large scale deployment of armed forces in aid of Police and the emergence of public spirited individuals and groups ready to take up cudgels on behalf of the victims of State excesses, the violations of citizens' rights and liberties became a regular feature of law enforcement. Before this, far greater atrocities committed by the police and administration in dealing with the problems of interstate dacoity and communal riots in various States and in fighting insurgency in the North-East had failed to generate any significant reaction among the general public. It is also worth noting that Pakistan could ultimately succeed in internationalizing the Kashmir issue not on the strength of its claims vis-à-vis ours but from the angle of the alleged human rights violations by Security forces. It is thus clear that terrorism plays a crucial role in determining the human rights discourse and shaping the human rights record of a nation State.
