India denied visas to US government representatives that wanted to check on religious freedom in India.

Religious freedom includes freedom to adopt and to proclaim the beliefs of one's choice in the area of religion. These freedoms are increasingly threatened in India, as the prosecution of a comedian for imitating a preacher demonstrates.

Before that was the banning of Sita Sings the Blues and the prosecution that drove secularist leader Sanal Edamaruku into exile.

Meanwhile, the repression of Dalits that want to officially register as Buddhists has been going on for a long time.
