India is now only 'partly free' under Modi, says report bbc.com/news/world-asi…
US-based Freedom House, a non-profit organisation which conducts research on political freedom and human rights, added that the number of countries designated as "not free" was at its highest level since 2006.
It added that India's "fall from the upper ranks of free nations" could have a more damaging effect on the world's democratic standards.
Since 2014, it says, increased pressure on human rights organisations, intimidation of journalists and activists, and a spate of attacks, especially those against Muslims, had led to a deterioration of political and civil liberties in the country.
