‘Cow Vigilantes’ in India Are Attacking Muslims and Posting It on Instagram

In recent years, there has been a rise in cases of ‘cow vigilantes’ attacking Muslims in India under the pretense of protecting cows, which are considered sacred in Hinduism.

These vigilantes often target Muslim cattle traders and farmers, accusing them of cow slaughter and transporting cows for slaughter.

These attacks have resulted in multiple deaths and injuries, sparking outrage and condemnation from human rights organizations and the international community.

What is even more disturbing is that these vigilantes film and photograph their attacks, glorifying their violence and sharing it on social media platforms like Instagram.

This not only incites further violence but also spreads Islamophobia and hate towards the Muslim community in India.

The Indian government has been criticized for not taking enough action to stop these attacks and hold the perpetrators accountable.

Many believe that the impunity enjoyed by these vigilantes is emboldening them to commit more violent acts with no fear of repercussions.

It is crucial for the authorities to take strict measures to prevent and punish such hate crimes and protect the rights and safety of all citizens, regardless of their religion.

Only by ensuring justice and equality for all can India truly be a safe and inclusive society for everyone.
