Cow vigilante violence in India
text:
Cow vigilante violence is a pattern of mob-based collective vigilante violence seen in India. The attacks are perpetuated by Hindu nationalists against non-Hindus to protect cows, which are considered sacred in Hinduism. Since 2014, mob attacks have mostly targeted illegal cow smugglers, but in some cases even licensed cow traders, have become targets.
There is a debate on whether there has been any change in the number of such incidents, as government data points out to reduced communal tension
