Listen "Why Routes of Funding Matter: India’s Misuse of the FCRA to Clampdown on Human Rights Advocacy"
Episode Synopsis
In this editorial feature, Mahima Balaji explores the issues surrounding the Foreign Contributions Regulation Act and the governmental witch-hunt of human rights organisations under the guise of tackling ‘unregulated’ foreign funding. She specifically analyses India’s ICCPR obligations in light of the overbroad framework of the FCRA which effectively can be interpreted to be a muzzle on any sort of human rights advocacy that opposes the Indian government’s treatment of ethnoreligious minorities in the country.
