Indian American Muslim Council
The Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC, formerly Indian Muslim Council-USA) is an advocacy organization of Indian American Muslims, with multiple chapters across the United States. The group focuses on advocacy to promote pluralism and religious freedom in India. It also focuses on interfaith understanding and advocating on behalf of the Indian Muslim diaspora in the United States. IAMC was established on August 15, 2002, in response to the 2002 Gujarat pogrom. As a member of the Coalition Against Genocide, IAMC has campaigned in collaboration with other organisations in the coalition. For example, such advocacy led to Narendra Modi's visa ban in the United States in 2005. IAMC is also a member of the Alliance Against Genocide, an international coalition dedicated to the prevention of genocide.
