Corruption and human rights violations in India: Conceptual and Theoretical Framework
Abstract
Corruption is commonly perceived as a social and economic issue; however, it is inextricably linked to grave violations of human rights. Given the interrelated nature of these challenges, it is imperative to analyze them in conjunction and to formulate comprehensive strategies that address their root causes in a mutually strengthening manner. This paper aims to explore the interconnection between corruption and human rights violations within the Indian context. It conceptualized the dynamics of this nexus through various theoretical frameworks, empirical data from 2016-21 and 2024, and the resulting consequences.
