Explanation
India has ratified the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), both in 1966-67, as well as CEDAW in 1979. However, India has NOT ratified the Optional Protocol to ICCPR, which allows individuals to petition the UN Human Rights Committee directly after exhausting domestic remedies.
