US Holocaust Memorial Museum, Simon-Skjodt Center

The Simon-Skjodt Center for the Prevention of Genocide is a program of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, a nonpartisan institution established by the federal government. Its 2024 risk assessment on India scores Adequate at 6.2. The report's most-cited statistic — a 490% increase in communal violence — originally carried a 'reportedly' caveat that was stripped in nearly every downstream citation. The report's institutional credibility is strong; its vulnerability is that widely-cited claims travel further than the caveats attached to them.
