Abstract: This paper critically examines the intersection of sports and human rights in India, highlighting the need for robust legal frameworks to protect athletes' rights. A qualitative analysis of existing sports laws and policies reveals significant gaps and challenges, including inadequate athlete representation, insufficient funding, and lack of transparency. The paper recommends comprehensive reforms to strengthen human rights protection in Indian sports, including the establishment of an independent sports regulatory body, implementation of robust anti-discrimination policies, and promotion of transparency and accountability. By addressing these gaps and challenges, India can promote a more inclusive and equitable sports environment, upholding human rights and ensuring athlete welfare.
