Nongovernmental organizations have also been targeted and in some cases closed under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act.
Let me repeat: India risks becoming one of the world’s main generators of instability, atrocities and violence, because of the massive scale and gravity of the violations and abuses targeting mainly religious and other minorities such as Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and others. It is not just individual or local, it is systematic and a reflection of religious nationalism.

Official silence over violent attacks and rhetoric is encouraging majority nationalist groups to even more brazen violence with a religious tint.  The violence in Manipur is also a warning of the dangers of inaction.
