Whether the discourse on Human Rights constitutes an authentically universal discourse, or merely Western discourse masquerading as such, is an issue which has persisted ever since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted in 1948, and shows no signs of letting up. This book presents an in-depth exploration of this issue in a novel format, by presenting a celebrated piece on this issue by Raimundo Panikkar, with a detailed response to it by Arvind Sharma, thereby laying bare several key dimensions of the debate which may otherwise escape notice.
Arvind Sharma
Dr Arvind Sharma was appointed Associate Professor in the Faculty of Religious Studies at McGill University in Montreal, Canada, in 1987, where he is now the Birks Professor of Comparative Religion. His previous books include Our Religions, Hinduism and Its Sense of History and Gandhi: A Spiritual Biography, among others.
