India is currently experiencing widespread protests as a result of the public’s concern about the declining human rights situation and rising crime under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration, which is in its third term. Violence and instability have increased across the nation, primarily targeting women, children, and members of minority religious and ethnic groups.
Numerous strikes have resulted from the unrest, bringing major cities to a complete halt, ranging from Delhi to Odisha and Bihar. According to a recent report, organizations representing Adivasis and Dalits have called for a “Bharat Bandh” strike in order to demand the protection of their constitutional rights as well as more representation in the workforce and in schools.
Indian media claims that the Modi government’s promotion of the Hindutva ideology has widened rifts within Indian society and increased tensions related to religion, ethnicity, and language.
