The U.S. Commission on Religious Freedom has recommended to the Secretary of State to include India in the list of Countries of Particular Concern. 10 other countries were recommended, including Burma, North Korea, Pakistan, Sudan and Iran:
“Several Ministers from the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party have publicly allied themselves with extremist Hindu organisations known collectively as the Sangh Parivar whose members regularly employ hate speech against religious minorities, have been implicated in violence against them and seek legislation to prohibit the religious conversion of Dalits and others from Hinduism,” the commission has said.
