The Calculated Humiliation of Healers: India’s War on IIOJK’s Doctors

In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK), few policies show the Indian government’s moral corruption like the calculated and cruel treatment of its young medical interns. These doctors, the lifeblood of IIOJK’s hospitals, face a state policy of deep humiliation. This is not mere neglect; it is a deliberate political message from the Modi administration, designed to devalue and break the spirit of Kashmir’s most essential people.

The Insulting Sum: A Symbol of Moral Collapse

The Indian government in IIOJK pays its healers less than the price of their lunch. The official stipend for interns is a mere ₹410 a day. This is reportedly the lowest stipend in the entire country, a statistic that purposefully targets IIOJK. This payment is not a stipend; it is a symbol of the Indian Modi government’s complete moral collapse and its deep disregard for Kashmiris.

♦ An Unlivable Wage: The ₹410 daily sum is not enough to cover one meal in the hospital canteen, forcing doctors into poverty while they save lives.

♦ Humiliation Wrapped in Bureaucracy: This is not a simple underpayment. It is a calculated act of humiliation, designed to show new medical professionals they have no worth under Indian rule.

Labour Without Dignity: The Unseen Backbone

This insulting wage is paid to doctors who are the clear backbone of IIOJK’s hospitals. These professionals spend sleepless nights in emergency wards and manage critical patients, holding a fragile healthcare system together. Yet, the Indian administration’s policy treats them as disposable labour. Their tireless work is unacknowledged, their skills are badly underpaid, and their well being is ignored.

♦ Sleepless Nights for Pennies: Paying ₹410 for doctors managing emergencies all night is a gross violation of labour rights and basic human dignity.

♦ Treated as Liabilities, Not Lifelines: When doctors are treated as liabilities instead of lifelines, the healthcare system becomes a dangerous hypocrisy, thriving on slogans while its soldiers suffer in silence.

Bureaucratic Torture: The Eleven Month Insult

The interns’ trouble is worsened by the government maze that defines Indian rule in IIOJK. For eleven long months, a file for a stipend enhancement, which was reportedly already approved, was deliberately bounced between departments. This was not an accident but a tactic to deliberately tire them out and break their will. The system is designed so the process itself is the punishment.

♦ Eleven Months of Calculated Delay: The eleven month delay for a pre approved file exposes the truth: in IIOJK, red tape is given more dignity than doctors.

♦ A File’s Futile Journey: It is a dark irony that the stipend file has likely travelled more distance between government offices than any ambulance, showing a system where paperwork matters more than people.

Governance by Obstruction: The Final Rejection

After subjecting the interns to eleven months of false hope, the Indian controlled finance department delivered its final, insulting blow. The file was reportedly rejected without any action or clear explanation. This act confirms the entire process was an insincere show from the start. It proves governance in IIOJK under Modi appointed officials has been replaced by deliberate obstruction.

♦ A Charade Exposed: The final rejection shows the administration was never interested in addressing the grievance, only in prolonging the humiliation.

♦ Obstructing for Obstruction’s Sake: This decision shows the ruling officials are not governing; they are simply blocking basic functions, purely to assert their dominance.

Exploiting Compassion as State Policy

The Indian administration in IIOJK has perfected one cruel art: the exploitation of compassion. The government knows these young doctors are bound by their medical ethics and will not abandon their patients. The state ruthlessly uses this selflessness as a tool of control, using the doctors’ sense of duty to justify its own harmful lack of care.

♦ Using Selflessness as a Weapon: The state is indifferent because it knows the doctors’ compassion will keep the hospitals running, turning their virtue into a weapon against them.

♦ Indifference Justified by Duty: This cruel system is built on the government’s cold bet that doctors will continue to sacrifice themselves for a system that gives them nothing.

Moral Bankruptcy Versus Lavish Propaganda

This policy of starving the territory’s healers is not from a lack of money. It is a clear case of deep moral corruption. The same Indian administration that pleads poverty when asked to pay its doctors is seen spending huge amounts of money on propaganda and staged events to project a false and glossy image of ‘normalcy’ to the world. This clear difference exposes the government’s priorities.

♦ Propaganda Over Healers: The state’s lavish spending on its own image, while refusing to pay essential workers, is a disgusting display of priorities. It values its own lies more than the lives of its people.

♦ Glossy Images Hiding a Grim Reality: Behind every glossy photograph of a modern hospital stands an unpaid, unseen, and hungry intern who is being sacrificed to maintain the state’s false narrative.

Healthcare Built on Systemic Hypocrisy

A government that cannot respect its own doctors has no right to speak of public health. The Indian administration’s entire approach to healthcare in IIOJK is built on deep seated hypocrisy. It is impossible to build a healthy society on the hunger and humiliation of its healers. Expecting quality healthcare while deliberately starving the professionals who deliver it is an act of deliberate neglect against the entire population.

♦ A System Thriving on Slogans: The healthcare system in IIOJK is one of slogans, not substance. It operates on the silent suffering of its workforce while officials in Delhi claim victory.

♦ Deliberate Neglect as an Attitude: This neglect is not an accident; it is an attitude. It is the core of the Indian government’s policy toward IIOJK, where the people’s welfare is seen as irrelevant.

Conclusion: A Message of Deliberate Humiliation

The silence of the Indian controlled administration in IIOJK is not mere indifference. It is pure arrogance. It is a deliberate violation of human dignity, calculated to send a frightening and clear message to the youth of Kashmir. That message is clear: no amount of education, dedication, or service to your own people will ever earn you respect or dignity in your own land under this oppressive rule. Your skills are worthless, your service is meaningless, and your presence is to be tolerated, not valued. This is the true face of Indian governance in Kashmir.
