dc.description.abstractIrrespective of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) 1948, which was evolved to protect the fundamental rights of human beings for realization of human life and liberty with dignity, the violation of human rights has become a global phenomenon of intimidating scale and magnitude. South Asia is seen as a major site of human rights violation, particularly that of women. The present study is a modest attempt to look at the violation of human rights suffered by the women in the state of Indian Punjab during the time of movement for separate homeland and militancy. The study presume that women are more vulnerable to human rights violation in the modern world and various struggles at the national and sub-national levels against the state driven them to the receiving end of state repression. It is known that Punjab witnessed massive violation of human rights in the course of suppression of militancy which rattled life in Punjab since the creation of Punjabi Suba in 1966. However, the slew of anti-terrorist laws used by the government to suppress militancy led to incidents in which particularly women were detained and tortured illegally by the police to get information of armed Sikhs or on the pretext that these women harbour the armed Sikhs. The field work carried out as part of the study shows that the women concerned had to suffer severe degree of torture of varying methods, which made many of them victims of medical and psychological disorders like depression, severe pain in body, damaged muscles and anxiety. It is also found that many women became homeless due to the unrest and the rehabilitation of these women remains unrealised even today. So also is the case of compensation, a gesture of justice that is long pendingen_US
