In this town of animals and birds, the most ‘in thing’ these days is to learn about the debates happening in the human society. They wonder all the time that what are human beings studying and researching in their universities these days ? Today Prof. Simmi, the lamb will take the lecture on “Human Rights” and the best student of the class, Sam, the chicken is all ready with his questions.
Simmi: Morning Students ! These days human beings are talking a lot about Human Rights. They say - Human rights refers to the basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.
Sam: Wow ! that’s Nice…
Sam: But why is this topic so ‘in’ these days ?
Simmi: mmm....That’s lil difficult to say, but it seems they are divided between North and the South OR you can say Developed and Developing. So the developed countries have exploited the people and environment enough to develop themselves and now they wanna dump the concept of human rights to the whole mankind to feel good and to wash off their sins.
Sam: Wow ! that’s clever…
Simmi: Lots of international laws are passed for the universal achievement of human rights.
Sam: Wow ! How inclusive…
Sam: But what about the women, lower caste people, physically and mentally handicapped people ? Are they also included in these human rights ?
Simmi: Yes they are. It’s for everyone irrespective of caste, creed, sex and physical or mental status.
Sam: Wow ! How Just !
Sam: But then why are we NOT included in this ? They beat us, kill us and eat us all the time?
Simmi: My Dear, That’s why it’s called “Human” Rights. They know how to play with the language.
Sam: Shit ! That’s mean
Simmi: Let them learn to at least respect each other. And then we can expect anything else from them.
Sam: Ok...Let’s Wait
