India Taps Immigration Control as Tool to Quell Diaspora's Growing Criticism at Home and Abroad
India is using immigration control as a tool to silence its diaspora and exert influence over countries where Indians live abroad, according to an expert. This tactic allows India to target individuals who are critical of the government or involved in Indian politics in foreign lands.

India is using immigration control as a means to silence its diaspora by restricting their entry into the country and imposing strict visa requirements, according to Professor Nitasha Kaul, who has been living in the UK since 2007. This strategy is part of India's efforts to exert influence over its global citizens and maintain control over their voices and opinions abroad. By limiting the movement of Indian diaspora, the government aims to suppress dissenting views and prevent criticism of its policies and actions.
