Rights are claims that are recognised by states and are necessary part of lives of the citizens to lead a life of dignity and respect. These are essentially a justified claim or an entitlement.

The bases on which claims to right can be made are:

a. Rights represents those conditions that we collectively see as a source of self-respect and dignity.

b. The necessity for every individual for their wellbeing. They help individuals to develop their talent and spirit.

Example: Right to livelihood may be considered necessary for leading a life with dignity.
