This book examines the ‘cultural apparatus’ of Human Rights in India today. It unravels discourses of victimhood, oppression, suffering and witnessing through a study of autobiographies, memoirs, reportage and media coverage, and documentaries, moving across multiple media and genres for their representations of Dalits, riot victims, prisoners, abused and abandoned women, and children.
