Some reports of international organisation have stated that the Narendra Modi government in India has been discriminating against minorities by quelling and suppressing free speech.

The report has been created by the World Report 2023, Human Rights Watch a self claimed activists of human rights. These comments were made while pledging the Western powers to not shift supply chains from China to India. The executive Director at Human Rights Watch, Tirana Hassan has authorized the report. She was also earlier associated with Amnesty International and several other organisations.

These anti-India comments were made by the Human Rights watch in a section on China which is titled as ‘A brighter spotlight on Beijing’, where it details about the authoritative regime of Xi Jinping, even including the atrocities on Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang region.

The report says that due to increase in discomfort around the Chinese governments repressive ambitions have started to expand trade relations with India, and human rights watch warns the government against it.  Reports were focusing upon the dismal human rights situation in China, including discussions on the matter in the United Nations.

The report suggests that the world leaders are making careless trade-off on human rights, accusing them of justifying it at the cost of doing business. They further said that leaders are ignoring ‘the longer-term implications of their compromises’, further claiming that ‘deepening ties with the Modi government while avoiding its troubling rights record squanders valuable leverage to protect the precious, but increasingly endangered, civic space on which India’s democracy relies”.

  In the report on India, HRW has written what has become familiar rants by such left-liberal organisations against the Modi government, that the BJP government is continuing with “its systematic discrimination and stigmatization of religious and other minorities, particularly Muslims.” It alleges attack on freedom of speech because the government has taken action against NGOs violating various norms including foreign funding norms, and for actions of people accused of links with terror groups.

HRW also mentions Pegasus, ignoring the fact that a probe found no evidence of its use against Indian citizens by the government also mentions that several Kashmiri Hindus and other minorities like Sikhs have been killed in terror attacks in Kashmir in recent times, but fails to mention who killed them, and the religious ideology behind these attacks. Instead, the group criticizes the government for action against some ‘journalists’ for their links with terrorists.
