USCIRF calls for sanctions against Indian intelligence agency RAW and RSS

The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has formally recommended sanctions against India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) citing religious freedom concerns. The report's credibility is being contested by Indian media outlets, which are highlighting the background of the current USCIRF leadership to suggest political bias. This development risks further straining U.S.-India diplomatic relations.
