Food, shelter and clothing are minimal human rights. The Supreme Court of India had declared in Maneka Gandhi v. Union of India (AIR 1978 SC 597) that the right to life enshrined in Article 21 of Constitution means something more than mere animal existence and includes the right to live with human dignity. It would include all the aspects which would make life meaningful, complete and living. Even in the International sphere these rights are considered vital as is evident from its inclusion in the basic covenants such as Universal Declaration of Human Rights and International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, 1966.
