Some officials in India are ignoring or even supporting rising attacks on people and places of worship in the country, a United States official has said during the release of a report on religious freedom globally in 2021.
The report released late on Thursday said attacks on members of religious minority communities, including killings, assaults and intimidation, had occurred throughout the last year in India. These included cow vigilantism – assaults on non-Hindus for allegedly slaughtering cows or trading in beef.
