#12The slow judicial system is the biggest weapon that the government and other large entities with money have. Not everyone can afford to put their lives on hold for 3 years while a court case slowly winds its way up to a judge.
Re: Amnesty International India Halts Its Work in India Due to Government Reprisal
#13Interesting. Does the Indian government have a legitimate complaint? There is a very wide spectrum of possibilities here. They range from the Indian government being horrible, through localised corruption, through the government having very legitimate concerns about foreign interference, through to AI India being corrupt and/or in league with western intelligence agencies.
Nah, you should have a complete understanding from all sides. India is heavily anti majority and hates Hinduism than any other country. All these NGOs and so called feminist organisations try to show hinduism in bad light. I don't really need to show references and links. A quick Google search will show it all. :)

This highly unsubstantiated claim raised by right wing of India.

The government's perspective. Apparently, the bank account that was frozen violated money laundering laws and was upheld by a court. https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/...

Toyota recently pulled out of the country due to ineffective bureaucracy and that's when they're pushing for more manufacturing. In cases like these there's no way for them to fight if they're against you.

I disagree. I am a South East Asian aka Malaysian. Most of the news articles related to India always show negative light about Hinduism and defame Hindu practices.

A quick look on the official India's sub reddit should be a good guage. r/india.

Previous govt had huge concerns as well. PM Singh said "The atomic energy programme has gone into difficulties because these NGOs [non-governmental organisations], mostly I think based in the United States, don't appreciate the need for our country to increase the energy supply."

Also, Important to note that some of the changes to laws for NGOs were done during congress led UPA govt as well. It is just that changes to laws have now been highlighted more by mainstream media.

> Toyota recently pulled out of the country
That is incorrect. Toyota is halting expansion in India not pulling out.
