Subject: India on the watch list of USCIRF
To:
Note that Pakistan is not on the watch list! Nor China. Also amazing
that PTI quotes one side but no responsible statement from the
opposing side at all. Ever since Clinton set this up under pressure
from the Christian Right, the USCIRF has been dominated by appointees
from Christian evangelical groups. Religious "freedom" to this
commission means conversion in full swing without any monitoring for
compliance with laws. This is an official US body encouraging hatred
for Hindus and anyone wanting to be exempted from this hatred must
deny he is Hindu, or apologize for it, or dilute it into "everything
is same" moronic mode. And this is the same bunch to whom many of our
eminent leaders (including several US based NRI activists) want to
turn over India's national security.

US body raises concern, puts India's secularism under 'watch'
Press Trust of India, Thursday August 13, 2009, Washington
The US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has
placed India on its "Watch List" for New Delhi's largely inadequate
response in protecting its religious minorities.
In a statement, USCIRF said India earned the "Watch List" designation
due to the "disturbing increase" in communal violence against
religious minorities - specifically Christians in Orissa in 2008 and
Muslims in Gujarat in 2002 - and the largely inadequate response from
the Indian government to protect the rights of religious minorities.
"It is extremely disappointing that India, which has a multitude of
religious communities, has done so little to protect and bring justice
to its religious minorities under siege," said Leonard Leo, USCIRF
chair.
USCIRF's India chapter was released this week to mark the first
anniversary of the start of the anti-Christian violence in Orissa.
Any country that is designated on the USCIRF "Watch List" requires
"close monitoring due to the nature and extent of violations of
religious freedom engaged in or tolerated by the government."
Other countries currently on the Commission's Watch List are
Afghanistan, Belarus, Cuba, Egypt, Indonesia, Laos, the Russian
Federation, Somalia, Tajikistan, Turkey, and Venezuela.

china and Pakistan are "countries of particular concern" for "for ongoing, egregious violations of religious freedom"
I guess unless India becomes 50 % muslim and 30 % xtian, India will not be truly 'secular' acc. to these bastards..
