In this explosive episode of OPEN COLLAR, Major Gaurav Arya breaks down the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) and explains why the Modi government is tightening oversight on foreign-funded NGOs. The episode explores the history of FCRA, the proposed 2026 amendments, allegations of misuse of foreign funds, concerns over national security, religious conversions, and foreign influence in India’s democratic processes. It also compares India’s FCRA framework with similar laws in the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Europe, asking whether India is merely adopting global best practices or imposing stricter controls.
