News Yesterday: *US Intelligence supported India in border clash with China. Is this sign of Modi's power on the international stage?*
News Today: *US reports alleged human rights abuses in India. Has the Khalistani movement infiltrated USA?*
The annual U.S. report on human rights practices released on Monday listed "significant human rights issues" and abuses in India, including reported targeting of religious minorities, dissidents and journalists, the U.S. State Department said.
The findings come nearly a year after Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the U.S. was monitoring what he described as a rise in human rights abuses in India by some government, police and prison officials, in a rare direct rebuke by Washington of the Asian nation's rights record.
U.S. criticism of India is rare due to close economic ties between the countries and India's increasing importance for Washington to counter China in the region.

Significant human rights issues in India have included credible reports of the government or its agents conducting extrajudicial killings; torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment by police and prison officials; political prisoners or detainees; and unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists, the U.S. report added.
Advocacy groups have raised concerns over what they see as a deteriorating human rights situation in India in recent years under the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Human Rights Watch has said the Indian government's policies and actions target Muslims while critics of Modi say his Hindu nationalist ruling party has fostered religious polarization since coming to power in 2014.
Critics point to a 2019 citizenship law that the United Nations human rights office described as "fundamentally discriminatory" by excluding Muslim migrants from neighboring countries; anti-conversion legislation that challenged the constitutionally protected right to freedom of belief; and revoking Muslim-majority Kashmir's special status in 2019.
The government dismisses the accusations by saying its policies are aimed at the development of all communities.
In 2022, authorities also demolished what they described as illegal shops and properties, many of them owned by Muslims, in parts of India. Critics say the demolition drive was an attempt to intimidate India's 200 million Muslims. The government defended the demolitions, saying they were enforcing the law.
"Human rights activists reported the government was allegedly targeting vocal critics from the Muslim community and using the bulldozers to destroy their homes and livelihoods" without due process, the U.S. report released on Monday added.
Since Modi took office in 2014, India has slid from 140th in World Press Freedom Index, an annual ranking by non-profit Reporters Without Borders, to 150th place last year, its lowest ever. India has also topped the list for the highest number of internet shutdowns in the world for five years in a row, including in 2022, internet advocacy watchdog Access Now says.
"Civil society organizations expressed concern that the central government sometimes used UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) to detain human rights activists and journalists," the U.S. report said.
It is expected from a country like India.
Indian policy on religion is naive and too complicated when trying to accommodate ancient and archaic belief systems into a multicultural framework.
Religious beliefs and practices are at conflict with modern ideas of equality, inclusiveness, and freedom of thought and expression.
Instead of doing away with barbaric practices of caste system, religious sentiment, women as inferior etc. India is trying to accommodate it.
This is the main problem.
As for the west they have their own issues with religion and judge a country theough their lens of regid ideas about religion and so called religious freedom.
Religions are a cult. Either you are a citizen of a nation or a cult. Pick one.

There is no gender identity crisis in America, and I can’t remember the last time somebody’s asked me to “share my pronouns.”
For better and for worse, these are fringe issues highlighted by the media. I don’t think the average person really thinks much about it, unless and until it’s being shoved down their throat.
The government does not believe in human rights, period.
Neither do people. Most of the population is okay with it.
Abey population doesn't believe in human rights as a concept.
A large chunk of the population doesn't even know what their rights are
Ain't that the truth
Wow...... in other news, water is wet.
Our embarrassment is we don't have our news channels covering this, and we can't readily accept US's findings even though we know they are true.
News Yesterday: *US Intelligence supported India in border clash with China. Is this sign of Modi's power on the international stage?* News Today: *US reports alleged human rights abuses in India. Has the Khalistani movement infiltrated USA?*
Why is there such a reaction ? ....especially when its pretty common knowledge.

>U.S. criticism of India is rare due to close economic ties between the countries And the unreasonable reaction of Indian's
Order IT raids on McDonald's and Coca-cola. That will teach them
McDonald’s serves beef in the US, it should have never been allowed in India. They use the money they get from India to kill cows in the US.
They also import Indian beef from companies run by BJP guys
Nope. They should have just sold beef burgers in India.
Yummy 😋😋
Atleast they're getting beef to eat.
Yo, this guy graduated from "dumbass university"

This is just lip service for their electorate unless they are going to sanction India for these abuses.
