In 2021, the Indian government “repressed critical voices — especially religious minorities and those reporting on and advocating for them”, a report by the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom has claimed. The report has also asked the US state department to designate India as a “country of particular concern”.
The report, which was released on Monday, “monitors and reports on religious freedom abroad” to give “policy recommendations” to the president, and other government actors such as the secretary of state and the Congress.
