The Issue of Cow Vigilantism in India

The Charkhi Dadri lynching-murder incident is not an isolated incident. In recent years, there have been a number of cases of cow vigilantism in India, in which mobs have attacked and killed people suspected of cow smuggling or cow slaughter.

Cow vigilantism is a serious problem in India, and it is a threat to the rule of law and the safety of Muslims and other minorities.

What Needs to be Done to Stop Cow Vigilantism?

There are a number of things that need to be done to stop cow vigilantism in India.

• The government needs to take a strong stand against cow vigilantism and prosecute those responsible for such attacks.
• The police need to be trained to deal with cow vigilantism and to protect victims of such attacks.
• Muslims and other minorities need to be protected from cow vigilantes and given the confidence that they will be safe in India.

Cow vigilantism is a serious problem, but it is not insurmountable. By taking action to address the root causes of cow vigilantism and by working together, we can create a more just and equitable society for all.
