Abstract
Human Rights are inherent and inalienable rights which are available to all human beings just because they are humans. These rights are universally recognized irrespective of any race, nationality, religion, sex, ethnicity, language or any other status. Since the adoption of Universal Declaration of Human Rights on 10th December 1948, the Human Rights have been reframed and applied so as to suit the dynamism of the society. They are reshaped in order to bring equality and fairness among various classes of society. The main target is often been the vulnerable group who face the risk of social exclusion and discrimination. This paper analyses the definition of human rights, its role in bringing social change, the historical and constitutional provisions of human rights, the role of government and civil society in promoting human rights and the challenges faced in the present context of ensuring human rights protection
