PREFACE Every citizen of India, and especially every functionary of the State, should bear Gandhiji's observation and truth constantly in mind. That would see us move closer to a life with dignity for all. This Annual Report is a brief recounting of the endeavours of the National Human Rights Commission, in the year 2000-2001, to help us move in that direction. Sd/- (J. S.
