Modi’s India: A Hostile Environment for Muslims and Other Minorities

Under Narendra Modi’s regime, India has transformed into a perilous landscape for Muslims and other minorities. Backed by the RSS, this government is systematically attempting to erase the presence of these communities.

Reports indicate that Muslims and other minorities live in constant fear. Attacks occur with little to no accountability, fostering a climate of terror. Forcible conversions, assaults on places of worship, and lynchings perpetrated by Hindu extremists have become tragically routine in Modi’s India.

Since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power, the persecution of Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, and lower-caste Hindus has escalated dramatically. This troubling trend paints a poor picture of the social fabric in India. The state’s silence in the face of such atrocities speaks volumes about its complicity in these acts of violence.

Global experts on genocidal violence have raised alarming warnings. They claim that India is laying the groundwork for a potential genocide against Muslims, particularly in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). Such predictions cannot be ignored; they highlight an urgent need for international scrutiny and intervention.

The report further underscores that the rights and lives of religious minorities will remain precarious under the BJP’s governance. This reality casts a long shadow over the future of India’s diverse population, as fundamental rights are systematically eroded.

Unchecked violence against these communities poses a significant challenge not only for India but for the global community. It is imperative that international human rights organizations step up to address these violations. They must act to safeguard Indian minorities and particularly protect Kashmiri Muslims from the rising tide of Hindu nationalism.

The Indian government’s failure to curb this violence sends a clear message: the safety of minorities is not a priority. As the situation worsens, the world must not remain silent. A collective response is essential to counter the spread of hate and violence.

The time for action is now. The international community cannot afford to turn a blind eye to the systematic oppression occurring within India’s borders. Each day that passes without intervention emboldens the perpetrators and further endangers vulnerable populations.

The escalating crisis faced by religious minorities in India is not just a national issue; it is a global concern. Immediate action is required to halt this spiral into darkness and protect those who are most at risk. Silence is complicity, and it is time for the world to speak out against these injustices.
