New Delhi: The country is witnessing its most peaceful phase in past 50 years with incidents of violence & riots plummeting to all-time low, found National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in its latest analysis.
The falling crime graph shows that violence registered a drastic drop after 2014 (when Narendra Modi took charge as Prime Minister) and recorded Year 2021 as the most peaceful time in 5 decades.
The findings of government body comes as strong vindication of Modi government’s policy of inclusiveness while exposing the ‘agenda & propaganda’ of naysayers & critics who don’t miss a chance to accuse the BJP-led dispensation at Centre & BJP govts in states of pursuing polarizing politics for electoral gains.
The NCRB data did a brainstorming of the crime data from 1970 to 2021 and found that the nation has been registering a steady decline in case of violence & riots in past few years. In its graph, 1981 is marked as the year that clocked maximum violence.
The NCRB data & supporting crime graph was shared on Twitter by Professor Shamika Ravi, a member of the Economic Advisory Council for the Prime Minister of India.

The graph shared by Professor Shamika shows that rioting and violence case had peaked during 1980s and has been falling since then.
In fact, the incidents of violence witnessed steep fall in late 1990s also. In year 1999, BJP formed govt under Atal Bihari Vajpayee and saw violence ebbing. Though, it registered a slight swing in cases between 2004 to 2013 (UPA-I and UPA-II rule) but again got restrained in ‘Modi era’.
Delhi riots 2020 was one of the big violent incidents of the recent past, which saw wide bloodshed, unrest & loss of lives. East Delhi region was engulfed in communal riots, resulting in death of about 53 people.
