Legal Question in Constitutional Law in India

Is the concept of govt employee 24 hr. servant not against human rights?

in india a govt employee is told repeatedly that he is a 24 hour servant and must be forever ready for duty whenever summoned.

is this concept not promoting slavery and bonded labour that is already banned everywhere in the world?

is it not against democracy which talks about individual's freedom?

is it not against right to privacy,and personal space?

is it not against constitutional rights?

if these are true,why should only a govt employee be singled out & deprived of his human rights while others are get comparatively more freedom?

isn't the term,"24 hours servant" degrading to an individual and hurtful of his dignity?

Some government jobs in this or others nation required 24 hours service because of such requirement for the service but it doesn't mean that the office will take your service unnecessary. And for that at the time of joining you would be instructed such and you also have signed on it. If you do not think yourself fit for the service you can leave this service on the term you agreed at the time of joining the service.
