Prime Time With Ravish Kumar: India Downgraded To “Partly Free” In Report By US Think Tank

Prime Time With Ravish Kumar - March 4, 2021: India was downgraded to "partly free" for the first time since 1997 in an annual ranking of democracies by the US government-funded research group, Freedom House, which cited worsening civil rights under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The world's largest democracy slipped in rankings this year because of continuing discrimination against its Muslim citizens and increased harassment of government critics and journalists, according to the "Freedom in the World' report released by the Washington-based organization. The report cited "a multi-year pattern in which the Hindu nationalist government and its allies have presided over rising violence and discriminatory policies." It listed several events in 2020 like riots in Delhi, use of sedition laws against critics and hardships endured by migrant workers after PM Modi announced a sudden lockdown to control the coronavirus pandemic.
