People and Culture in Indian Law and World Law

Culture and people are deeply intertwined, shaping societal norms, traditions, and values. Legal systems across the world recognize the importance of cultural preservation and human rights. Indian law, with its diverse population and rich heritage, provides extensive protection for cultural and social rights. Similarly, international law safeguards cultural diversity, indigenous rights, and heritage protection. This article explores the legal framework governing people and culture in India and across the world.

Cultural Rights in Indian Law

India is a multicultural society with a strong legal framework to protect cultural diversity. The Indian Constitution ensures cultural and educational rights under Articles 29 and 30, allowing minorities to preserve their language, script, and traditions. Several laws, such as The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, and The Antiquities and Art Treasures Act, 1972, help protect indigenous cultures and heritage sites.

Cultural Rights in World Law

International law also recognizes cultural rights through various treaties and conventions. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) - Article 27 upholds the right to participate in cultural life. The World Heritage Convention (1972) safeguards cultural and natural heritage sites, while The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007) affirms the cultural rights of indigenous communities.

Challenges and Future Prospects

Despite legal protections, cultural rights face challenges like globalization, conflict-driven destruction of heritage sites, and discrimination against indigenous groups. Governments and international bodies must enforce stronger legal protections, promote inclusive policies, and use digital technology to preserve cultural expressions.
