| | After the diplomatic embarrassment over the outrage in Gulf countries over Islamophobia by Indians, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) recommended this week that India be designated as a “country of particular concern” (CPC) in its 2020 annual report.
It’s for the first time since 2004 that USCIRF has recommended that India be designated a CPC, where governments engage in or tolerate “systematic, ongoing, egregious” violations of religious freedom. India is in dubious company—countries on the list this year include Pakistan, China, North Korea, Russia and Saudi Arabia.
Two members of the nine-member panel also recorded their dissent, arguing that India, the world’s largest democracy, could not be equated with countries like China and North Korea. |
