Uttar Pradesh (UP) is India’s most populous state and a key player in national politics, sending 80 Members of Parliament to the Lok Sabha—the highest among all states. It has produced the most Indian prime ministers, including Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Indira Gandhi, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Charan Singh, and Narendra Modi.
The state was formed in 1950 when the United Provinces were renamed Uttar Pradesh. In 2000, Uttarakhand was carved out to better represent the Himalayan regions. UP’s capital is Lucknow, while the Allahabad High Court, based in Prayagraj, is its highest judicial authority.
Uttar Pradesh is known for its historical and cultural significance, home to landmarks like the Taj Mahal, Varanasi, and the mythically important Ayodhya. It hosts the Kumbh Mela, the world’s largest religious gathering, held every 12 years in Prayagraj. However, the 2024 Maha Kumbh was marred by a tragic stampede, highlighting concerns over crowd management at major religious events.
The state has also witnessed significant social and political unrest, including the Hathras rape case, which sparked nationwide outrage over issues of gender and caste-based violence and institutions responsible for the delivery of justice. UP remains a focal point in India’s socio-political landscape, balancing rapid development with persistent challenges in law and order, infrastructure, and governance.
Also in this case as mentioned in the report there are a lot of inconsistencies. You know where there is no inconsistencies ? The case in Rajasthan where two Islamists beheaded a tailor because apparently he liked the post which praised noopor Sharma. They recorded the whole incident for the world to see.
Want to guess what happened to these guys ? They are out on bail. This happened in a state which is under the BJP. I don’t see any outrage by these human rights lawyers for this ? We can all be partisan if you force us to be.
I have said this before – two can play the game. Remember when Congress in Karnataka chose to not file an FIR when a Muslim mob attacked a police station ? Yes, I do remember and I had told not over here but on social media that this will backfire because the other side can play the same game and you won’t be able to take the moral high ground.
As always everything starts from Congress or the left. They started with freebie culture and now BJP adopted it. I am disappointed because people who have done crime should be punished otherwise societal trust goes down and everybody will play the same game because the morality is gone to the bin.
