missionaries of charity is known worldwide to treat the poor and ill without taking a penny. i was born in calcutta and i have been seeing that charity work. they don't keep a penny. there must be some kind of misunderstanding good misunderstanding. also. i would request all our government to fill in the central government to please come outside mother how every morning at 6 o'clock and see the lying. all formulas for people stretching for more than one mile was given a free meal. not one of those people is of christine and not one of those people are asked to become christians. down the street, we're looking at india's foreign contribution regulation at the recent changes. and the report impact that that may well have on began g as in india. and the small ones as well. let's meet your panel and i had me hello v j t at hello tina ran john. good to have all 3 of you here on the stream. every

or some human rights across are so busy. all right, thank you so much guess also reached out to india's ministry of home affairs, extensive outreach. despite that, we were not able to get a spokesperson to join us, but we have you live in a comment section on you chip comments right here. the questions right here for our panel. i will do my best to bring your ideas, your thoughts into the program. let's start with this idea that these regulations on ngo's receiving foreign funding not new, not specific to the ruling b, j, p, the a former congress party when they were in power. they also started to look at regulations for ng yos, but earlier we spoke to lucia, who had some thoughts about why these regulations are necessary. have a listen to her. the government of india exercise its constitutional authority in

bringing about a few changes to the existing se already act. there's a lot of data and intelligence that some in use have been indulging in activities against the state. unfortunately, india doesn't have a legislation to call in the activities of the foreign agents. so i guess the 1st of all, i want to just establish what would be the course for indian governance. and we need to do deeper regulation on for an investment foreign funding coming into indian engineers. can you give me at least one example neuron, john? i'm going to ask all of, i guess one example of where to regulation is necessary because there are problems . what are the problems of, i think 1st of all, the regulation has to happen in sector, you know, like a mining waddington school. little do those activities that has actually not only, you know, kind of a trips,

but it has also focus a economy so that i think that those, those areas actually need to be regulated. and government is right actually in, in a certain activities that can actually in many with taking many of those, you know, diamonds on that i, that's great. all right, so certain industries need to be regulated. i mean, do you need to be regulated in your child? is lack i think as much as everyone in this country needs to be regulated. i want to really by the government through today, just a sure and yours are also going to want to be in relation to this regulation. started with the a $976.00. biting. going with the foreign contribution regulation act. and we have on, i have my and you, i've been registered from the 982. we had an unblemished regard to

a 1000 of them when we were suspended. and we had not a single, a petition off having an want that was on fire to all disputed. i know, i know the reason why in $2802.16 when it was once again, that addicted. the reasons, i mean it got nothing to do with financing. you know, nothing to do with finance management, but i definitely do with our human rights all reporting on things that take place within the country. and this is not good back to give me just your home as if i before they been the high court where they say that i completed the embassies. i'm . they also said that i communicated with you in a special report. yes, i don't think we just by us to be in the security on some of the united nations. why is it, is it all just wanted to when you go in to get to we can do in special about what yes. and i would be able to match my talk to our boards that we are making. do you

any special? no. yes. this is a little, not an issue, but i think i've heard of it by the ministry of it. i'm just a little here at a puzzle from outside of india. they applied for the renewal of that nice is to take in from an investment. and they have been turned down that they found this out just recently. so, huge organizations, huge engineers have been impacted. i haven't done any reporting that gave you some idea about what the changes were with and yet why india would be so strict about for an investment coming into the country because that's the key issue to south alicia. so there are, oh, so these are the boards which we have find of regarding the foreign contribution resolution act. it's actually regulates in funding into the country. most of the time be an art old by the ministry on record or off the board of about any reason.

see, for example, mission of ease of charity. why? if the i was not renewed and the ministry came up with a statement that you do some security inputs. now these are very weak terms. if you are blocking the license or registration of an injury which has been working for, for decades in a country, you ought to give cogent reasons of explaining what it was like. you repeated that you have phone. so sometimes of these regulation they also used to how does and job which are critical of the government on the job express which is balance please speech. and because not many people would want to depend on core threads on government funding for the world because they want to say independent. so that is the who knew that this act because it just

gives an explanation. it is very it is, i believe i did on the part of the state and the other ones who can decide arbitrarily, which and you'll be function, but generally not. and he will not even get to know the reason i say. so even though what we're think about right, what would be the potential reason how many came up with one. but in terms of what the government telling you, the ministry of home affairs, they're not giving you those examples. on my laptop, i have several people who've been following the stream. following this conversation on twitter, have a look here, henry, i'm going to get each of you and, and, and the data and austin around and to respond to these comments. so cashandra says, this is a good decision by the indian government. some people using the funds received the purpose of ngos for illegal activities. henry instant reaction to this, don't pause. go ahead. in 2020. what is your show? cost though. does not go. i'm not twice 3 times that it was really good because

then it was only 180 days of suspension. not a single illegal activity of ours had been pointed out to the other thing that we were not allowed to renew. i had a 2 line audit that was given to me and ordered it on the basis of the study report . the competent authority does not want to refuses your renewal application. i'll pass it. i haven't seen the push back from you. the run down, the street hor akina as a new one new id here phone and she has a note that how the people in india they have to react motives and should not be trusted. a b j. p like government is doing the right thing. and we shouldn't be wishing western and she has not at all. no, i can refund this. i think the grandmother, she, you know, people who are been, you know,

this sort of messes in. so you know that i think the victim of, you know, the provider and base has been, you know, for several years, which is basically in your same kind of in a program. and that's not only a i think if you see the writing a space all over the world and i think you go to us, you will talk to you go to brad, you go to a, you know, many of those countries when you have back to and you haven't got to become very commonly and any kind of what and when that comes for even a finding the cause of, you know, climate change or promoting, right? so the marginalise is seen basically as some kind of intervention on the, on the left here. so i think i'm not so, but it will be sort of mrs. and what exactly is happening in india for last several years, not only with no current government in the previous government, which in fact anchored by, you know,

this is to make up 120 in 2000. and then we thought, i mean, went and expanding the scope of we know what to declare illegal, or what would be something that, you know, is going to politically niche already know, pretends national security. do think actually the small, tiny end user actually dedicated themselves. i can be a, we actually living in india and yours may not be there for, you know, for a walk on, and we'll make on my, you know, it's a devices. and you know, many of them will make, you know, back later on going down into laws like a 2005 was buying or buying hundreds of in your class didn't use. so i think some of these people are in a program for the case. i've got one more for here to share with you, and i'm just going to see on twitter. again, responding to our discussion today is kind of run a parallel government. they flout laws and norms. and for activism on the pretext

the social service, they must open themselves up to 4 states secrete scrutiny and be accountable. are you seeing any sense of entry, as i said, a 3000000 operating in india and nice of flouting government rules? so as i mentioned earlier, the bombs are that is stringent. you have to check a lot of boxes, especially after new amendments were brought in last year. it has become impossible for and used to do any kind of good or even to imagine that they can run it badly. government is just laughable. and most of these comments are mostly part of an organized propaganda. and because there is the spirit of the unknown that and jewels will come and jose, well, you know, people with the government, these are very foolish observations, to be honest, a host of boxes that you have to check for and you to

survive to receive a lot innovations of government of india has even put one in bonus around 101 and one is on its watch list. and so it's not easy book or in doing us. we just send money because every penny that they've sent, the government gets an alert and every penny is through denies before it's passed on to the end just so it's not that easy. so as i said, there are a lot of frustrated measures in place. so i don't think this will treat, makes any sense. i ok that told that twitter i let me say this with you. this is from the ministry of home affairs. it is live now. so it gives us a sense of what is happening with the ngos who try to file for the foreign contribution regulation at with the new regulations. if you see the blue hail, the aqua marine, those are the n g o z who are active. the pink pants sold and yos, look how many people and years and then the green diem see sto expired as of today

. maybe they couldn't even handle that paperwork. maybe that in fall maybe can get in on time. i'm re looking at this the latest for ngos who would like to have foreign funding. what does this tell us about the operating climate, the ngos in india today? i do think 2 of the agents i would like to make. the 1st observation is that this and diet i know that is going on. let us not forget that this operation started close to 2010 to 5. ready we should regulation act and this was brought in by another government which is talking about today. and i want to go on to the car for the sake of being ready for the arguments that we were taught, that i am a lead off the previous government to started. and then the 2016 can do. that's why i don't know why. why do i do in terms of numbers there?

you don't have an idea of these. i'm looking at this when each it will be a regulation act, $976.00. and i think one to 2010. anybody would ask for, and i do station i never, there was they were bigger institutions which had not one do station by it. and i love the game i need to want stronger and become blames mechanism became tougher. they decided to decided but not to have. finally, decision to move and what not to have to do station what to do with the way. and therefore, there are many which i did not renew because precisely, they did not want that a decision that speaks about the large number, which i, which i mean guess it. now those we've got to do to be cancelled as of today on, i guess there's another explanation you can give is with the 2020 amendment. but if not, which may sound in buffet, which means one of the deals in the country. well, what did you do?

well, what do you want the was don't gotta be a part of the country on the issue. a need to look at it in which was a displacement. and i do show that you can think of these and you can only see vines directly from a bar. i know they go down sources, they don't need it. and then you don't, you want ok. and then for the, if you have a to b anyway, so a lot of numbers remain guns and because of the stock blinding coming to a loss. and that is something which is very, very difficult for me and you're going to survive because you don't have people only doing what people are not going to have to do on the government. a book, people have done usually to work to do any of their competence. and usually does. a lot of that work is what i'm doing. and i just made it difficult for people to continue for daily distinction. and i want to put those teeth and you chances, clovis, new champions watching the program right now?

what is the level of awareness and interest in india's about these regulations? what is the impact on everyday life? the many people in the country i so i had time about the news, the missionaries, a charity organization set up my mother, theresa. they are now rationing the food that they're giving out because of the limitation on the funding that they have. they can't take funding from overseas. right now. the indians know about this and what's the impact? thank. that's a good question. i think i don't really know what's happening to this space and how many of those, you know, especially those are all more than, you know, those are back to the binding work for having, you know, in many ways actually facing, you know, the front of the ministry so i'm saying look at the mission of charity. it is actually one of the list organization and has done fine work.

actually, i think almost a 1718 states. it worked actually for the, for the most a people who really do not call within the states, you know, so in a sense, actually by targeting the sort of use what actually seen as actually a lot of symbolic value for the society. you actually get to get chilling effect for many smaller and you as an edge of those what actually a best that is number one, number 2 is i think a lot of activities, especially those activities that really do not call my dad. i don't know the state, in many cases actually states a place where many of these injuries actually need to get it themselves. i think those what's actually

going to heavily suffer, i don't think, i mean, i did plan in any way. you know, it can actually really going to buy a i don't actually just want to share my laptop, this news from, from ok time when they realize that they won't be able to renew their license or see for funding. they say that that humanitarian work will be severely impacted and share with you another thoughts as to why this is happening in india right now . chadwick says this is a serious sign of a dictator. it's heartless, disregarding the many people benefiting from the organizations and then on video, we got this coming from rashid. here is rashid. if it means destroying civil society, or economy of india or the prestige or india, the cancellation theories of gum in the indian medical association,

or even support to leprosy war. so be, it seems to be that you didn't of couldn't in the energy i mean, you know, to, well, what it needs means to be regulated so that your work is impacted. your child work is impacted. what does the ministry of home affairs need to do to adjust their approach to foreign funding? coming in to india's. the question is that that is discrimination in the manner in which foreign investment in india is being the discrimination is between. the hope is this is, is approached and also it was id the approach. and i think this discrimination has to stop. the business is managed by the finance ministry. where's the civil society is managed by the whole ministry? and now this is a major discrimination. the procedures are done followed for financial irregularities. you want to use those words for business. have a procedure,

whether it is income tax, whether it a service tag for that or do we do it? any other tax issues that are procedures that are follow? whereas for switches, id, under the ministry of the discrimination is that the 1st thing that have done today and it will read the 1st thing that is done is suspension. and the best example that i can get is the common but human rights initiative, which has been working on issues of what i see, which i've been working on, issues of late to information, which i've been working on, issues of prisons not working on their own, but working with the police themselves, working with the prison authorities, themselves, working with the legal authorities themselves, and they're having stopped. what have they done? what have they done? which is wrong? if they're working, i think you have to. and one to him, i said, what have they done? suspension, we don't notice and they hadn't caught story. so this discrimination of what hope

business is approached and i was going to say to you, the approach is the fundamental question that we are not in the nation, but i'm just really i, you know, i'm from guy had yeah, i think i, i agree with you know, in terms of why the government is open to, for an investment in the business sector and it goes to easing all kind of sticks on analyzing every, you know, sort of log black, rectifying the most. but i didn't get the foreign funding for the 8 years, which actually are doing binding work and you know, they're filling the space, you know, which the state is not able to meet off back what actually is being listed. another interesting diamond is that you know, the fund funding of, you know, want to go buy these, you know, which is happening to a, you know, once the government doesn't have any problem, does open the floodgates point one and money to ploy globally. because system and it actually it to the national security and you know,

what actually been buying a bunch of that's the biggest i that we have. we actually do it with this india last a can add some. yeah. so this is also a gates all for you to credit over each of the just did a story. it went on our website a few hours back that the f c, i a, the distractions of not only missionaries of charity, but famous hindu temple to look at the the last time which is a point in a single sentence. and then i will thank you and take a by it yet, even even though not only christian organizations, even lot of in boot and both have lost it at seattle registration. so it is clearly a case of bureaucratic overreach and oh, there should be clear guidelines and clear of explanation by the government on why

they're of the district and has a j 10 thanking their angina, russia, you and henry, we really appreciate you as well so much more to talk about that for now, i'm going to wrap up today's show on youtube. thanks for your comments. i think next time take ah january on that just i, we look back on you as the president joe biden supposed to you in office 12 months on from the capital building by the part of the stream. enjoy him out. social media community, as he owns, recovery from civil war continues. we must 2 decades since the end of one of africa's most political complex, the bottom line. steve clemens dives headlong into the u. s. issues that shape the rest of the world. as we enter the 3rd year of it, 19,
