everyday we use to talk about good and bad, religion, being vegan or non- vegetarian and many more and most of the time when our discussion leads to religion, then some people say my religion is humanity? and every time I try to ask them, what is a perfect HUMAN?
Dear Mr. Bahadur Singh,
Hope you are fine.
Humanity is a human divine virtue to 'be compassionate' and having 'fellow feelings' towards others. It constitutes the core of all human values broadly enshrined in the doctrine of human rights. This endevour classify human beings above the rest of animals especially expressing in terms of mental growth. It enshrines the virtue of live and let others live. In otherwords humanity enables peaceful coexistence of not only human beings but also entire ecology.
If we have a glance on panorama of human rights, even the right to life requires protection of dignity of human life which is cornerstone of humanity. The Supreme Court of India has expressed explicit concern on human dignity and expanded right to life by preserving dignity through various judicial pronouncements such as Francis Coralie Mullin v. Union of India (1981 AIR 746). Human dignity is the corner stone and quintessence of humanity.
Various International Instruments of Human Rights such as Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), 1948; International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), 1966 and International Covenant of Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (1966) also emphasized on human dignity at large. Regional Human Rights Instruments have also protected the similar ethos. Humanity respect the dignity of life for others. Thus humanity is a virtue making a person humane.
I think this content may help to develop your understanding on the issue of humanity.
You are welcome for further query, if any.

Humanity is all what concerns to the human beings, is not passions, feelings, beliefs, only, but also open eyes to testimonies of true men that they do not lie or do not invent events.
Humanity is a basic ideal for entire human being of the world .It is only humanity which may help us to create a positive & peaceful surrounding joining with the grace of nature so that human beings may receive a peaceful & happy environment & the world a beautiful place to live .
It is in this line that i submitted some times back my publication under the captioned '' The challenge of Humanity '' which i take liberty to submit herewith the same for your perusal & also for our valued readers
'The purpose of human life is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others.'
-Albert Schweitzer
For me, this purpose summarizes adequately the definition of 'humanity'.

Dear Bahadur Singh, thank you for question.
The concept of humanity or humanity has a further and a tighter meaning.
Further meaning
In its wider meaning, the term refers to "everything that is human or peculiar" (in particular, what distinguishes humans from animals). In this sense, "human behavior" means "any empirically observable or possible behavior of humans".
Tighter meaning
The term "human behavior" (with emphasis on the "human" attribute), on the other hand, has a normative content, ie assumes ideas about how man should be or supposed to be true nature or ideal. Under this presupposition, the word "humanity" in a narrower sense of the word means only those traits of man which are regarded as right or good in the respective worldview - for example, in the worldview of humanism or that of Christianity etc.
Dear Bahadur Singh,
a perfect HUMAN exists nowhere on the world? We have all small or major weaknesses. But, what is read as human behavior, also depending on the culture circle in which one lives. It should be the same everywhere that we respect each other.
Have a good day
L'homme n'est plus qu'un animal, dès le moment qu'il a developpé le raisonnement global pour survie de tous son entourage et de toutes les populations (de la terre entière). "L'humanité" est traduit actuellement par les simplistes en "écologie".
Bien sur c'est plus compliqué que ça, merci de poser ce questionne.
There are many definitions (E.g., from Internet):
.The word humanity is from the Latin humanitas for "human nature, kindness.” Humanity includes all the humans, but it can also refer to the kind feelings humans often have for each other. Awww. But when you talk about humanity, you could just be talking about people as a whole. When people do bad things, it tests your faith in humanity. When people ask for money to help feed starving children, they're appealing to your sense of humanity.
According to my opinion:
Humanity is a "good ethical behavior" of humans with respect to others beings.
However, the ethical paradox does not allow to us to solve this task : For example, we kill animals because we must eat.
Maybe the essence of human being does not allow to the human to be really humanistic being. Maybe the this is the mistake of the GOD ?
Anyone has no answer to this question!
To behave as humane is humanity. Our individual behavior should help the society we live in for constructive purposes. Any action opposing the community sentiments is harmful for self and the community. We should refrain from activities which are anti-social and create gap between individuals in society. Any religion guides its followers to confirm these basic requirements. With all our actions and behavior, attempt should be directed to protect our environment. God helps those who help themselves.
In simple words to me humanity means having feelings for others. Not only for other humans but also for animals, plants and our environment.
Sometime, when we talk about a bad person we say "he/she is not a human, he/she is a devil" so here he/she has violated the qualities /characteristics of a human i.e. he/she did not show that feeling connected to a true human.
This is a very good topic this time, where we have lost these feelings.
