More ludicrous than this is that when we want to make a study regarding the human rights of women we refer the matter to young boys and girls print questionnaires and try to find out by the way which they are filled in what human rights and whether the human rights of women and men are the same or different.
Anyhow we are seeking to make a study in a scientific and philosophic manner about the human rights of women on the basis of intrinsic human rights and we want to see whether those same principles which require that human beings as a general rule have a series of natural and God-given rights also affirm that women and men should have the same kind of rights or not. So I request the scholars thinkers and jurists of this country who are the only persons who really matter and should put forth their opinions in such matters as this to look into our arguments critically. I would be highly obliged if they gave their opinions together with their reasons for or against what I have written.
In order to study this point it is necessary that we should firstly look at the basis and the roots of human rights and then consider specifically the rights of men and women.
It would not be out of lace to briefly refer in the first place to the movements in the present age to do with rights which culminated in the call for equality of rights for men and women.
