Talk on Human Rights in the Pre-British Period

At the talk on Human Rights in Pre-British Period organised by the Centre for Human Rights on 22nd February, Justice B N Krishna enthralled an audience with a speech which was equal parts Sanskrit, equal parts humour and equal parts historical insight. Refuting the widely held notions of Human Rights as being gift of the British to India, Justice Krishna showed by way of examples how the ideas of human rights albeit within a uniquely duty based system existed in pre British India. He fielded questions from the students and faculty with much élan and had the audience listening in rapt attention.
