On March 25, 2025, the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) recommended sanctions on India’s external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), over alleged involvement in assassination plots targeting Sikh separatists abroad. The panel also urged the U.S. government to designate India as a "country of particular concern" due to reported religious discrimination against minorities. India’s Ministry of External Affairs dismissed the claims as biased and politically motivated, arguing that the report misrepresents the nation’s religious and cultural diversity. The recommendation could impact U.S.-India diplomatic relations amid ongoing global security concerns. (PC: Reuters)
