Solution

  • The claim of rights of tribal people to protect their habitat and way of life has emerged with the new conception of a secure and respectful life of individuals along with preserving their traditional way of life and access to resources.

  • This is a result of change in society and its beliefs and providing special provisions or rights to people to protect indigenous culture.

  • Tribal people are given rights to own a part of land of the forest to which they belong.

  • They are given special facilities in education, job, medicine etc. so that they can compete with the rest of the society on equal terms.

  • The rights of children against bonded labour are necessary to prevent their exploitation and ensure a safe childhood for them.

  • The right to education is a new right given in the Indian Constitution.

  • This right helps in preventing the violation of the basic right of children to education.

  • Right to information is a new right that helps the citizens to know the status or the procedure of the services that they are entitled to receive.
