Congressman just called out India’s proposed FCRA amendments; calling it a 'clear attack against Christians.' Why? Because the new bill allows the government to take over management of foreign-funded NGOs, trusts, and even religious institutions; including churches; if their FCRA registration is cancelled or not renewed. The twist? The government says it’ll preserve the religious character of places of worship. But critics fear this opens the door for control; not just oversight. Here’s what’s at stake: Over 14,000 NGOs currently hold active FCRA certificates. ₹55,741 crore flowed in through foreign donations between 2019–2022. And now, penalties for violations are being slashed from 5 years to just 1 year. This isn’t just about legalities; it’s about trust. Between nations. Between communities. And between the state and institutions that serve society. The U.S. lawmaker’s warning? If this bill passes as-is, it could strain bilateral relations. That’s the quiet ripple; with potential to become a wave.
