Civil society under siege, in India
Context:
The last bastion for India’s democracy is being targeted, with the anti-communal and progressive civic space under the most serious attack by the state.
Extent of Attack on Civil Society Organizations
- High-Level Attack: Organizations facing severe funding crises and legal actions leading to potential imprisonment.
- Moderate-Level Attack: Entities experiencing significant curbs and limitations due to state interventions.
- Low-Level Attack: Groups subjected to minor impact, often engaged in causes beyond anti-communal issues.
Impact on Various Organizations and Their Responses
- Anti-Communal Groups: Bodies strongly fighting communalism facing significant state suppression, funding depletion, and legal charges.
- Neutral/Moderate Entities: Even non-communal institutions facing restrictive state actions, affecting their functioning and progress.
- Non-Active Anti-Communal Groups: Organizations less engaged in anti-communal causes experiencing comparatively lower attacks.
Instruments Deployed by the State and Their Implications
- Legal and Penal Consequences: Charges like money laundering and investigations leading to imprisonment for NGO officials.
- Regulatory Amendments: Amendments to laws like FCRA and Income-Tax Act impacting funding sources and tax exemptions.
- Governmental Intimidation: Imposing stringent regulations, monitoring, and investigating NGOs and their donors, impacting their operations.
