The US Embassy in Australia posted a map on X on Tuesday showing India as only partially free. The map is based on the annual report from Freedom House, a US-based non-profit funded by the American government.

India has stayed in that middle category for six years running. The report says policies under Narendra Modi's government and the BJP have discriminated against Muslims, and harassment of journalists and critics has grown sharply. India scored 62 out of 100, one point lower than last time, and was rated Free until 2020.
