The Indian government has tightened FCRA rules for NGOs, barring foreign-funded proselytization while allowing religious education, cultural preservation and faith-based charitable activities within the law.
The move is aimed at curbing alleged foreign influence in India’s religious demographics and ensuring that foreign contributions are not used for conversion-related activities. The
decision has sparked debate among NGOs, religious groups, civil society voices and political stakeholders over religious freedom, foreign funding transparency, national security, charity work and
the limits of faith-based outreach. n18oc_india n18oc_plain-speak News18 Mobile App
