Putting India on the ‘watch list’ for the second year in succession, the US Commission for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) in its report said the Indian government at various levels recognized the problem of communal violence and created some structures to address these issues.

“However, justice for victims of communal violence was slow and often ineffective, thereby perpetuating a climate of impunity.  

“While there was no large-scale communal violence against religious minorities during the reporting period, attacks on Christians and Muslims and their places of worship continued, along with incidences of intolerance against both,” it said.
