India’s Moral Collapse: JIH Expresses Concern Over Rising Sexual Crimes Against Women in India

India today faces a deep moral and political crisis. From the rise in crimes against women to the misuse of law against students and citizens, the Modi government has failed to protect its people. Instead of promoting justice and safety, the BJP regime focuses on control and division. These repeated failures show that India’s so-called democracy is losing its moral balance and humanity.

♦ Signs Of Decline:
According to Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH), the growing violence against women and the misuse of power are proof of a complete breakdown in public morality. Leaders like Professor Salim Engineer have openly condemned this collapse of ethics and governance.

Rising Crimes Against Women

♦ Disturbing Cases:
Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi, Professor Salim Engineer, Vice President of JIH, highlighted three shocking incidents that show how unsafe women are in India. A female doctor in Maharashtra ended her life after accusing a police officer of rape, a hospital employee in Delhi was deceived by a fake army officer, and an MBBS student was drugged and blackmailed. These cases reflect the failure of law enforcement and the loss of basic moral sense in society.

♦ Women Living In Fear:
Professor Engineer said women in both urban and rural areas are living under fear and insecurity. He said this growing violence reflects the moral decline of Indian society. Despite loud government claims, women remain unsafe and the state continues to fail them.

Collapse Of Morality And Law

India’s social order is breaking down as greed and power replace honesty and justice. Institutions built to serve the public have turned into tools for the powerful.

♦ Failure Of Institutions:
The Modi government’s obsession with image and control has weakened the police and courts. Crimes rise while justice is delayed. Those who suffer remain unheard, while those close to power escape punishment.

♦ Culture Of Injustice:
The protection of criminals through political links has become common. Victims are silenced and cases drag on without result. The system’s weakness shows a deep loss of integrity in India’s governance.

Politics Of Hatred And Division

♦ Elections Driven By Hate:
During the Bihar Assembly elections, Professor Salim Engineer condemned the hate campaign and misuse of power by the ruling party. He said elections should focus on education, health, law and order, and development, not religious division.

♦ Emotions Over Real Issues:
He said the BJP avoids issues like poverty, unemployment, and public welfare, and instead plays on emotion and fear. The Election Commission of India has failed to stop these practices, showing how weak democratic institutions have become.

Need For Fair And Responsible Elections

♦ Voting As A Duty:
Professor Engineer reminded people that voting is not only a right but also a duty to strengthen democracy. He urged citizens to choose candidates based on honesty and performance, not on caste or religion.

♦ Ensuring Transparency:
He demanded that the Election Commission strictly apply the Model Code of Conduct for the Bihar elections on November 6 and 11. He said free and fair elections are the only way to restore public trust in democracy.

Suppression Of Students And Dissent

♦ Targeting Students:
At the same event, Nadeem Khan, Secretary of the Association for Protection of Students Rights (APCR), expressed concern over the imprisonment of Umar Khalid, Sharjeel Imam, and others who have been jailed for over five years on false charges related to the Delhi Muslim-Kisan riots. He said this is punishment through the judicial process, where the system itself has become a tool of repression.

♦ Criminalising Protest:
Khan said that WhatsApp messages, speeches, and peaceful demonstrations are now labelled as terrorism. The Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) is being used to silence criticism. This misuse of law is a direct attack on India’s Constitution and democratic values.

Control Over Judiciary And Police

♦ Law As A Weapon:
The judiciary and police no longer act independently. Under political pressure, they serve the ruling party’s interests. The continued use of UAPA and other black laws shows that law is now used as a tool of revenge.

♦ End Of True Democracy:
India functions as a democracy only in name. The arrest of journalists, students, and activists proves that freedom of speech and equality before the law have disappeared. The Modi government has turned democracy into a rule of fear.

Moral Collapse And Loss Of Public Faith

♦ Erosion Of Trust:
The Modi government’s hunger for control has destroyed public faith in justice. Crimes against women, political corruption, and the jailing of innocent people are not isolated incidents. They show a system driven by arrogance and moral decay.

♦ Broken System Of Justice:
People have lost hope in courts and police. Instead of defending truth, these institutions protect those in power. India’s justice system has failed its people and turned into a shield for the corrupt.

Conclusion: India’s Moral And Political Decline

♦ A Nation Without Direction:
India’s image as a democracy has collapsed. The rise in sexual crimes, the imprisonment of innocent students, and the abuse of power show a nation that has lost its sense of morality and justice. The Modi government’s rule has replaced compassion with cruelty and fairness with fear.

♦ A Call For Accountability:
The international community must take notice of India’s growing human rights crisis. Voices such as Professor Salim Engineer and Nadeem Khan represent the courage that still survives under oppression. Their call for truth and justice shows that even in darkness, hope remains. The struggle for fairness and humanity must continue until India rediscovers the meaning of justice and democracy.
