* '''Right to Happiness'''

* '''Right to Happiness'''

It is the natural desire of all human beings to be happy at every stage and in every aspect of life. Therefore, happiness has been recognised as a right in the Bharatiya culture since ancient times. In fact, “right to happiness” is a compendious expression that includes every kind of specific human right, the fulfillment of which intends to secure happiness. And the doctrine of Trivarga with Dharma as controlling factor was evolved to secure this right to happiness for all without any exception. Thus, this is the most important and comprehensive human right. And the declaration of this Right as a basic human right is rather, a mark of distinction of Bharatiya values of human rights.

* '''Right to Equality'''

=== Right to Equality ===

Right to equality (Samanata) is perhaps the most valuable right, without which happiness is impossible. The Vedas which constitute the primordial source of Dharma declared the charter of equality. Rigveda declared that all are brothers, that no one is inferior or superior. Similarly, the verse in Atharvanaveda declared that all have equal right over natural resources and all were equally important as spokes in a wheel. This declaration of equality found incorporated in the Rigveda, the most ancient of the Vedas, and also in the Atharvanaveda from times immemorial is very much similar to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights made in 1948. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to note that right to equality was made a part of “Dharma” long before even the State came to be established.

Right to equality [Samanta] is perhaps the most valuable right, without which happiness is impossible. The Vedas which constitute the primordial source of Dharma declared charter of equality (Samanata).

 

It is found incorporated in the Rigveda, the most ancient of the Vedas, and also in the Atharvanaveda.

 

Thus, the right to equality of all human beings has been declared in the Vedas, which were regarded as inviolable. In order to emphasise the dignity of individual, it was declared that all are brothers, which meant that all are children of God. Therefore, it was declared that no one is inferior or superior. Similarly, the verse in Atharvanaveda declared that all have equal right over natural resources and all were equally important as spokes in a wheel. Both the Rigveda and Atharvanaveda declared that cooperation between individuals is necessary for happiness and progress It is also of utmost importance to note that right to equality was made = of “Dharma” long before the State came to be established.
