POLICE BRUTALITY IN INDIA: ITS IMPACT ON INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR RIGHTS Hiral Vora, Semester 10 Student at United world School of Law, Karnavati University. Download Manuscript ABSTRACT Police brutality in India is a pressing issue that reflects a systemic failure within the Indian police system. This dissertation delves into the pervasive nature of police misconduct, including illegal detentions, abuse, and torture, highlighting that these practices are not isolated incidents but deeply ingrained within the system. It emphasizes that addressing police brutality requires more than just attributing it to a few “bad apples” but necessitates comprehensive reform of the entire system. Beyond the immediate physical harm caused, police brutality violates fundamental human rights and erodes trust between law enforcement and the public. The dissertation aims to investigate instances of police brutality, analyze accountability mechanisms, and recommend ways to prevent violations and enhance police accountability. Research questions explore the influence of race and ethnicity on experiences of police brutality, the impacts on victims, legal remedies available, societal consequences, effectiveness of training and policies, and international approaches to addressing this issue. The hypothesis posits that police brutality negatively affects individuals, violating their rights and fostering fear and mistrust. Through a quantitative methodology involving literature analysis and media reports, this study seeks to provide insights into the complex dynamics of police brutality in India.

CONSTITUTIONAL IMPERATIVES AND GLOBAL PERSPECTIVES: A COMPREHENSIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS, SOCIO-POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC EXPLORATION OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE RECOGNITION IN INDIA Disha, Ph.D. Scholar | Senior Research Fellow, Dr. K. R. Narayanan Centre for Dalit and Minorities Studies, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India Download Manuscript ABSTRACT This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the legal arguments and potential impacts surrounding the recognition of same-sex marriage in India. Grounded in constitutional provisions guaranteeing equality, non-discrimination, and the right to personal liberty, the study examines the inconsistency between current laws and constitutional mandates. Through a meticulous exploration of global precedents and international human rights law, it underscores the imperative for India to align its legal framework with evolving societal values and global standards. Drawing upon landmark judicial decisions like Navtej Singh Johar v. Union of India (2018), which decriminalized homosexuality, the paper advocates for a progressive interpretation of the Constitution to ensure marriage equality for all citizens. It highlights the significance of recognizing same-sex marriage not only as a matter of social justice but also as a means to strengthen India’s democratic ideals and soft power on the global stage. Moreover, the paper discusses the potential economic benefits associated with recognizing same-sex marriage, emphasizing its role in unlocking the economic potential of the LGBTQ+ community and fostering a more inclusive workforce. The paper concludes with recommendations for legislative reform, calling for amendments to existing marriage laws or the introduction of new legislation to provide legal clarity and ensure equal rights for same-sex couples. Overall, this paper serves as a timely contribution to the ongoing discourse on LGBTQ+ rights in India, advocating for a more inclusive and egalitarian society guided by principles of equality, liberty, and justice for all.
