An independent commission in the United States has called for India to be added to a State Department blacklist on religious freedom.

In its annual report, the commission said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government promoted Hindu nationalist policies resulting in systematic ongoing and egregious violations of religious freedom.

It pointed to claims about police complicity in violence against Muslims during deadly riots last year in New Delhi and continued concerns over a citizenship law championed by Modi that critics say defines Muslims as non-Indians.

The report says the Indian government has been stifling dissent. It voiced concern over the rise of restrictions on inter-faith marriages.
