USCIRF Urges Sanctions On RSS And RAW
The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) published its 2026 annual report recommending the US government designate India a "Country of Particular Concern" and impose sanctions on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). The report cites alleged religious freedom violations in 2025, including anti-conversion laws, use of UAPA/FCRA/CAA/NRC, and an April 2025 attack killing 26, signaling potential escalations in bilateral scrutiny and policy responses.
