Vigilante groups in India are beating up and sometimes killing people they suspect of slaughtering cows.
Between May 2015 and December 2018, at least 44 people – including 36 Muslims – were killed in the violent vigilante campaign against consumption of beef and those engaged in the cattle trade.
Many Hindus consider cows sacred and most Indian states ban slaughtering cows. But in recent years, several BJP-ruled states have adopted stricter laws and policies that disproportionately harm minority communities.
Police often stalled prosecutions of the attackers, while several members of India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) publicly justified the attacks.
We spoke with research consultant Jayshree Bajoria about the violence blighting India and what the government needs to do to ensure protection for its citizens.
