Discuss briefly some of the new rights claims which are being put forward in our country today — for example the rights of tribal peoples to protect their habitat and way of life, or the rights of children against bonded labour.
The Rights of Tribal People to protect their habitat and way life has emerged as new rights claims. The rise in deforestation and surge in setting up of industries has hindered the habitat of tribal people and hence led them to claim such right. so, it becomes duty of the government to protect the indigenous culture of the tribal.
Tribal people are given rights to own a part of land of the forest to which they belong.
Rights of children against bonded labour has also emerged as a new right that is claimed.
This is important in order to protect the children from being exploited and save their childhood.
Right to education is the new right that is ensured by the Indian Constitution.
This right helps in preventing the violation of the basic right of children to education.
