The US Centre for International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has been highly critical of the Modi government. Interestingly, while the commission includes members representing various religions, the “Hindu” commissioners associated with Soros have been identified as left-leaning individuals with anti-Hindu sentiments. It raises questions about whether this connection is merely coincidental. 

Alt News, an organization initially certified by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), is supported by the Poynter Institute, which receives funding from Soros’ Open Society Foundation (OSF) and Omidyar Network.

This certification has been utilized to establish fact-checkers with an anti-Hindu leftist bias while restricting the opportunities for others to participate in this space.

It has also been alleged that Soros provides funding to the Evangelical Trust Association of North India (ETANI), a Christian missionary group. ETANI has been associated with propagating narratives of religious persecution in India.

The Centre for Policy Research (CPR) is an Indian think tank that primarily focuses on public policy. It receives funding from Namati, an organization associated with Amartya Sen, which, in turn, has received funds from the Open Society Foundation. Several individuals affiliated with CPR, including Pratap Bhanu Mehta, have been known for their criticism of the BJP government. The current President of CPR, Yamini Aiyar, has also expressed controversial views regarding the Indian government.
