Abstract: ‘The known human history is the struggle between the power and liberty’ according to J.S.Mill. This becomes true with the international declaration of human rights, on Dec 10, 1948. This is the result of various movements for rights from the period of ‘Magnacarta’ to the II World war. This declaration stood as a pillar of confidence in the human race, and there by it became the primary source for all sorts of demands raised by different groups and individuals. This declaration has empowered the rights movements all through the globe. But it is the individuals who have seen the declaration in different perspectives and gave different interpretation to it. We use to see the past through the present. Past becomes more understandable and visible through the present situations like sunrays are visible as rainbow colors when they pass through the prism of the water droplet. For the last 50 years every nation and every ethnic group have seen the declaration in their perspective according to their socio–economic and political thoughts. As a result some aspects have been glorified to the maximum extent and some have lost their significance. Key words: Human Rights- international declaration of human rights-Magnacarta- socio–economic and political thoughts. Dr.VJReddy, Dep. of Hindi, AU-email:[email protected]:0-9442424331
