The curious case of Cow Vigilantism in India


The 2015 Dadri mob lynching case shook the nation to its core. A 52-year old Muslim man was put to death, and his son was severely injured by an angry mob of cow vigilante. This attack was carried out on the suspicion cooking cow meat at his home. With this incident, the cow protection groups have once again surfaced to many other different regions in India, which resulted in many such events of savage beating and torturing to people from other communities in the name of cow and religion.
