Modi’s India has been systematically oppressing, marginalizing, and inciting hatred toward its 220-million Muslim minority. Young women dressed in saffron performed traditional folk dances and held placards asking Muslims to choose between Pakistan or the graveyard. Modi’s government planned to consecrate a new Hindu temple on the same site ahead of the 2024 general elections. Encouraged by international silence, India continues to refuse to resolve the J&K dispute in line with UNSC Resolutions. Under the UNSC resolutions, India cannot bring about any material change in the status quo in the Indian Occupied Kashmir.

The controversial Uniform Civil Code, which supersedes religious laws regarding marriage, divorce, and inheritance, was approved by Uttarakhand last week as well. If these acts are permitted to go unchecked, India might descend into communal anarchy. Instead, the purpose of this cunning plan is to eradicate Muslim religious and cultural customs and, in the end, to eradicate the Muslim identity from the so-called “pure” land of Bharat. The Sangh Parivar’s agenda for India is dangerous because it mixes 20th-century fascism with mythology from antiquity in a deadly concoction. It will have disastrous effects on minority communities, including Muslims in India, if it is permitted to go forward.

People came out very well in this election and they not only ex­ercised their right to vote, but also guarded their vote. Obviously, not all was right, nor intended to be and nothing is being done right rath­er more distortion is being creat­ed. How are these transparent re­sults of a transparent election in which the loser is being given a winning form, while the oppo­site candidate also has his own winning form and is knocking on the door of the court? It is a strange thing that in this country those who say to respect the vote have never given respect to the vote. Old slogans will not work now, neither will it be possible to try against the will of the public, now only the vote will have to be given real respect.

The electoral process’s lack of transparency and the ongoing allegations of manipulation have sparked doubts about the democratic process’s credibility. To preserve democratic values, the ECP must act swiftly to allay these worries and guarantee that elec­tions are held in an impartial and open manner. It is equally crucial to acknowledge, though, that other political parties, should they be able to get the necessary numbers through legal proce­dures, also possess the right to establish government. It is imperative that all political actors demonstrate maturity by abstaining from raising ten­sions that may result in conflicts between various parties. In the end, all political parties and institutions must put the interests of the country above their own partisanship in order to preserve stability and ensure that democracy endures for the sake of all cit­izens’ prosperity.
