  Minorities in India face deteriorating treatment, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom said on Tuesday, and it recommended targeted sanctions against India's external spy agency over alleged involvement in assassination plots against Sikh separatists.

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has recommended that the U.S. government impose sanctions on India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) due to its alleged involvement in transnational repression against religious minorities. This recommendation comes in light of reports detailing the Indian government's actions against religious minorities both within India and abroad. The USCIRF's annual report highlighted concerns over the treatment of Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Dalits, and Adivasis, suggesting that the U.S. should also consider targeted sanctions against other Indian officials and agencies involved in these activities. The report also calls for the U.S. to designate India as a "country of particular concern" for its systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of religious freedom.
