“The roots of all conflicts could be traced to the violation of human rights. When we think of violation of human rights, it need not be only those of very big proportions. Whenever a servant is harassed by his master, a poor man is scolded using vulgar words, a policeman uses filthy language against a street boy, a senior student insults a newcomer in all such instances human rights are violated. Any behavior against the dignity of the other person is a violation of human right.”
