USCIRF Indictment of India
A US congressional body has put India on a list of countries which have failed to protect its religious minorities adequately. The US Commission on International Religious Freedom says India was added to the list because of a "disturbing increase" in religious violence. The US Commission on International Religious Freedom was criticised by an Archbishop from Orissa who did not doubt the secular credentials of India. USCIRF had referred to the anti-Christian and anti-Muslim riots in Orissa and Gujarat in 2008 and 2002 respectively.

“The indictment had never been clearly expressed,
And it seemed that the Snark had begun,
And had spoken three hours, before any one guessed
What the pig was supposed to have done.”
