[ Business Standard ] Hindus not represented in USCIRF, says head of Indian diaspora body

Hindus, constituting one percent of the American population and being the third largest religion globally, are not represented in the **US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF)**. The absence of Hindu representation has led to biased, unscientific, and one-sided reports on India and Hindus. Khanderao Kand, chief of Policy and Strategy at the **Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies (FIIDS)**, criticized the USCIRF’s annual report on international religious freedom, highlighting its predictably anti-India bias and omission of crucial facts. Despite India being the world’s largest democracy, the USCIRF has recommended it as a country of particular concern, a recommendation that Kand finds strange given India’s diversity and pluralism.
