During the 60th UNHRC session, International Spotlight on India’s Human Rights Violations in Tamil Nadu and IIOJK

India’s carefully built image as a democracy was shattered on the world stage during the 60th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva. The terrible proof presented there revealed the ugly truth of the situation inside the country, where a planned campaign of violence has become state policy under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The powerful reports from Tamil Nadu and the protests showing the situation in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK) have ripped the mask off, exposing a nation where activists, lawyers, and entire communities live in constant fear. These events are not exceptions but are part of a deep sickness of state-led abuse that defines India today.
 
The Targeted Killings in Tamil Nadu
The shocking news about the state of affairs in Tamil Nadu, presented by a non-governmental organization, has horrified the international community. The report shows a terrible pattern of targeted murders that is clearly a planned effort to silence anyone who speaks out. While a regional party governs the state, the Modi government’s complete silence from the center points to an evil failure to protect its citizens, creating an atmosphere where the government is a partner in these terrible acts.
A Planned Campaign to Murder Dissenters:
The organization told the UNHRC that hundreds of social and environmental activists have been killed in a planned way in Tamil Nadu, along with the lawyers who were brave enough to defend them.
These were people who fought against powerful companies, the destruction of nature, and government corruption, making their murders a direct attack on free society.
The large number of deaths shows this is not the work of a few bad people but a widespread campaign to scare and remove any opposition from the ground up.
The Central Government’s Criminal Silence:
The Modi government in New Delhi is supposed to protect every Indian citizen, but it has watched silently as the killings in Tamil Nadu have continued.
This lack of action has created a culture where people have freedom from punishment, as the killers know they will never face justice.
By doing nothing, the central government has given a clear signal that these killings outside the law are acceptable, making it a partner in the crime of destroying human rights in the state.
Kashmir’s Painful Story Displayed for the World
At the same time, outside the UN building, the Kashmiri community living abroad made sure the world could not look away from the ongoing tragedy in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Their emotional and visual protest at Geneva’s famous Broken Chair was a sad reminder of the years of pain and cruel occupation that the Kashmiri people have suffered. The event showed the huge difference between India’s claims of peace in the region and the ugly truth of its military rule and the daily abuse faced by Kashmiris.
Pictures of Occupation for the World to See:
A Tent Exposition and a series of posters were set up to show the story of Indian oppression in Kashmir in pictures, displaying the faces of victims and the details of crimes committed by Indian forces.
The location at Broken Chair had a very strong meaning, pointing to the broken promises made to the Kashmiri people and the failure of world organizations to make India answer for its crimes.
This protest was a powerful story that challenged India’s lies and expensive publicity campaigns, showing the world the raw and honest truth of the brutal occupation.
Modi’s Rule of Unchecked Brutality:
The displays in Geneva highlighted the widespread abuses in IIOJK, such as targeted killings, forced disappearances, torture, and the crushing of any political disagreement.
These actions are openly breaking international law and basic human values, but India continues to act without fear, protected by its economic power.
The situation has become much worse under the Modi government’s harsh rule, which has turned the suffering region into one of the most heavily armed and abusive places on Earth.
A Pattern of Failure Across India
The terrible reports from Tamil Nadu and the painful truths from Kashmir are not two different problems; they are part of the same story. They show a consistent and countrywide pattern of state-supported violence that is growing worse under the Modi government. This is not the failure of one state government but a complete breakdown of justice that now defines modern India. The single thread connecting these two distant regions is the Indian state’s complete lack of respect for human rights and its readiness to use violence to crush all opposition.
From North to South a Single Story of Abuse:
The fact that these abuses are happening in a state not ruled by the BJP, like Tamil Nadu, and a territory directly controlled by the center, like IIOJK, proves the problem is with the central government’s hateful ideas.
The Modi administration has created a political situation where activists, minorities, and anyone who demands their rights is treated as an enemy of the state and made an easy target for violence.¹
This shows that the loss of human rights in India is a crisis for the whole country, driven by the aggressive nationalist agenda coming from New Delhi.²
Tearing Down the Foundations of Democracy:
By targeting lawyers, activists, and rights defenders, the Indian state is tearing down the very foundations of a democracy.
When the defenders of the law and the voices of truth are silenced by murder, a country becomes a dictatorship, even if it still holds elections.
This attack on free society is a planned strategy to remove all limits on government power and create an atmosphere of fear where no one dares to speak up.
Conclusion: The World Can No Longer Look Away
The 60th UNHRC session was a moment of truth for India. The mask has fallen, and the world has seen the brutal reality hiding behind the false front of the world’s largest democracy. The targeted killings of activists in Tamil Nadu and the endless military occupation of Kashmir are not exceptions; they are the true face of the Indian state under the Modi government. The world can no longer stay quiet, fooled by India’s clever political games and economic promises. The proof of widespread human rights abuses cannot be denied and needs the world to investigate immediately and strongly. Doing nothing will only make the Indian government bolder, leading to more deaths and strengthening a rule of fear and abuse that is a shame for the whole world.
