Breaking Down The News: The USAID–Soros Nexus and the Deafening Silence of Indian Authorities
Recent revelations have exposed a significant financial and ideological link between the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and George Soros, particularly during the Obama and Biden administrations. This expose, brought to the forefront by the current U.S. President Donald Trump and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, raises serious concerns over foreign interference in national politics, media, and governance. While Soros has long been accused of manipulating democracies through his vast network of NGOs and advocacy groups, the latest findings show the extent of U.S. taxpayer dollars funneled into his global influence operations.
USAID, Soros, and the U.S. Deep State: The Obama-Biden Connection
For over a decade, USAID has been actively funding organizations linked to George Soros, with over $270 million directed towards entities affiliated with his Open Society Foundations (OSF). The Obama administration, known for its progressive internationalist agenda, facilitated large-scale funding of Soros-backed groups under the guise of “democracy-building” and “civil society development.” The Biden administration, despite mounting scrutiny, has continued to engage with these organizations, raising questions about the extent of Soros’ influence on U.S. foreign policy.
President Donald Trump has openly accused Soros of using USAID grants to destabilize multiple nations, including India. Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, now heading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under the Trump administration, has also expressed concerns that Soros is actively working to undermine democratic institutions globally. Their allegations are backed by mounting evidence that Soros-backed groups have played a role in funding protests, manipulating media narratives, and interfering in domestic politics across various countries.
The Soros Playbook: How He Interferes in Global Politics
George Soros and his Open Society Foundations have been accused of directly influencing political systems across the world, often using “civil society movements” and “media freedom campaigns” as cover for regime change efforts. From orchestrating “Color Revolutions” in Eastern Europe to financing anti-nationalist groups in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, Soros’ playbook involves funding NGOs, activists, and opposition parties to create instability within governments that do not align with his ideology.
In nations like Hungary and Russia, governments have outright banned OSF operations, recognizing the dangers of such foreign influence. Even Pakistan and Turkey have cracked down on Soros-backed organizations. But despite this global awareness, India remains a country where Soros’ network has remained active, and his influence continues to seep into political, journalistic, and legal institutions.
The Indian Chapter: Soros, His Affiliates, and Their Role in the Congress Ecosystem
India has been a major target of Soros’ influence operations. His Open Society Foundations have financially supported multiple organizations and individuals who have been vocal critics of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his nationalist policies. Prominent media personalities, activists, and legal professionals have been associated with Soros-backed initiatives, raising concerns about their role in shaping India’s political discourse to align with foreign interests.
As per the internet, among the notable Indian personalities linked to Soros and his initiatives are:
Shekhar Gupta (The Print)
Faye D’Souza (Beatroot News)
Ritu Kapur (The Quint)
Amartya Sen (Economist)
Harsh Mander (Activist & former bureaucrat)
Indira Jaising (Senior Advocate & Human Rights Lawyer)
These individuals and organizations have been instrumental in pushing narratives critical of the Modi government, often aligning with the Congress party and its ecosystem, particularly the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation (RGF).
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey recently revealed a stunning revelation in the Lok Sabha, alleging that USAID funds, funneled through Soros’ OSF, were directed toward the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation and Rajiv Gandhi Charitable Trust. Dubey’s claims indicate that foreign funds were being used to influence Indian policies, particularly in pushing divisive agendas like the caste census and opposition to the Agniveer scheme.
The Astonishing Silence of Amit Shah and the MHA: Why No Action?
Despite these alarming revelations, there has been an astonishing silence from the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and Home Minister Amit Shah. The Modi government has previously acted against foreign-funded NGOs, particularly in 2015, when it amended the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), making it harder for organizations like OSF to operate freely in India. This move restricted Soros’ financial reach, significantly reducing his ability to influence India’s policymaking through NGOs.
However, this alone is not enough. If foreign funds have indeed been used to destabilize the Indian political system and interfere in its internal affairs, those involved must be held accountable. The lack of immediate action from India’s security and intelligence agencies raises the question: Why is the Indian government not cracking down harder on those who have worked for Soros and his global agenda?
The Outrage of the Common Indian: A Demand for Justice
For an average Indian citizen, these revelations are not just shocking—they are infuriating. The fact that a foreign billionaire with a documented history of interfering in multiple countries was allowed to fund political narratives, influence media, and support opposition-linked NGOs within India is a direct attack on national sovereignty.
Indians are now asking:
Why was foreign interference permitted for so long?
Why have those working for Soros not been prosecuted?
Why is the Home Ministry silent despite such serious allegations?
Why was the Rajiv Gandhi Foundation allowed to receive such funds?
While the 2015 FCRA amendments made it difficult for Soros to operate in India, it did not eliminate his influence entirely. If India truly values its sovereignty, a full-scale investigation must be launched into the Soros-India nexus, and those complicit in his agenda must be brought to justice.
Conclusion: Time for Action, Not Just Words
The USAID-Soros link is not just a conspiracy theory—it is an exposed reality backed by hard facts and financial trails. With global leaders like Trump and Musk openly denouncing Soros’ operations, and MPs within India raising serious questions in Parliament, it is imperative that the Indian government take swift and decisive action.
