Western Standards on Human Rights Can't Be Applied to India Says Amit Shah 🕉️

Addressing the National Human Rights Commission, Union home minister Amit Shah said on Saturday that “Western” standards of human rights cannot be “blindly” applied to India. He also argued that India’s human rights policy must take into account those killed by militants or Naxals in the same way that it does victims of police atrocities and custodial deaths. “There is no bigger violation of human rights than those affected by militants in Kashmir or Naxals. We must look at these issues with an Indian outlook,” Shah said, according to Indian Express. He was speaking at the NHRC’s 26th foundation day. Human rights, Shah argued, are intrinsic to traditional Indian values. “India has an inbuilt framework of human rights. Our family values have special protection of women and children, and villages look after the poor believing it to be part of their dharma.”
