Some of the core ideas of human rights are found in the Vedic literature, which serves as the center of Sanskrit literature. The goal of this manuscript is to unravel the principles of human rights that are hidden inside the Vedic scriptures. It also looks at the topic of human rights from the viewpoints of Vedic writings and tries to see a link between ancient Vedic literature and human rights. Although the components of the notion postulate various cultural forms and are present in other civilizations, including Vedic civilization, the concept of human rights as expressed has a particular Western origin. Although the Vedic rights are undoubtedly not comparable to contemporary human rights, it would be unrealistic to expect much from scriptures that date back between 3500 and 4000 years. The link between Vedic literature and human rights is not totally harmonious and tension-free, despite the fact that it powerfully connects with the basic ideas of human rights. The inconsistencies between Vedic literature and human rights are the main focus of this text. The Manu smriti further explore Vedic society's larger background and social structure, which had strong intellectual and spiritual underpinnings. It explores how these ideas might have affected how people were treated and how their intrinsic worth was acknowledged, even though this was done within the limitations of a hierarchical structure. Concepts of justice, equality, and respect for all living things are identified through an analysis of the Vedic writings, including the Rigveda, Upanishads etc. Caste-based divisions and the unfair treatment of women and underprivileged groups, however, call into doubt the Vedic society's conception of human rights. The study also emphasizes how the idea of "dharma" (obligation) in Vedic literature may be seen as a potential limitation on personal freedoms as well as a moral code. A crucial aspect of the conversation is the conflict between social reality and idealistic ideals. The ethical foundation of respect, compassion, and accountability is relevant in today's human rights discourse, even though the Vedic vision may not coincide with ideas of universal human rights. This text seeks to offer a detailed perspective of how Vedic literature adds to the larger discussion on human dignity and rights by bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and modern principles.
