A World Divided : Human Rights In An Unequal World

This book examines the ‘cultural apparatus’ of Human Rights in India today. This book is being discharged at a time when hundreds of millions confront dejection, viciousness and oppression. It narrates the journey of Shamim Ahmed, a Human Rights Activist and his journey of serving the society for twenty-five years. It unravels discourses of victimhood, oppression, suffering and witnessing through a detailed research work of five years by the author herself through a study of autobiographies, memoirs, reportage, media coverage, documentaries and door-to-door survey. This book serves as a rule book for the upcoming generations, conferring them with the knowledge of all oppressions that have existed in the society since ages and the endless battle that the advocates of Human Rights have fought and have been fighting. They say the world is divided into seven continents but I see only two, Rich and Poor”.
