'Beacon of freedom' dims as US initiatives that promote democracy abroad wither under Trump

The United States is pulling back from its role in spreading democratic ideals abroad under President Donald Trump. Experts are raising concerns about the effect on movements that aim to counter authoritarians and build the foundations for representative government. The Trump administration has tried to shutter the U.S. Agency for Global Media, ended a U.S. Agency for International Development democracy initiative and restructured the State Department to eliminate a key global democracy office. It's a departure from America's long role in spreading democracy across the world. Experts say Washington's gutting of such initiatives could accelerate what many see as a trend of democratic backsliding around the globe.

The article from U.S. News & World Report, dated April 2, 2025, discusses a new Indian bill aimed at revamping the management of Muslim-owned land, known as waqf properties. The proposed legislation seeks to modernize the administration of these assets, which are significant in number and value across India. However, the bill has faced considerable backlash from Muslim community leaders and opposition parties, who argue that it represents an overreach by the government into religious affairs and could lead to the mismanagement or loss of these properties. Critics also express concerns over the potential for increased bureaucratic control and the erosion of the autonomy of waqf boards. The controversy surrounding the bill highlights ongoing tensions regarding the governance of religious properties in India.
