Original Note:
The claim that the U.S. “suddenly” updated India to Level 2 is false. India has been at Level 2 (“Exercise Increased Caution”) since 2018. The June 16, 2025 update is a routine reissue, not an escalation, it's similar to advisories for the UK, France, and Italy. 2018: https://www.cntraveler.com/story/us-state-department-announces-a-new-travel-warning-system https://2017-2021-translations.state.gov/2018/01/10/new-travel-advisories-for-u-s-travelers/ 2025: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/india-travel-advisory.html?.com
