Mob lynchings after 2014 in India

During Narendra Modi's tenure as Prime Minister of India, which began in 2014, there have been several reported incidents of mob lynchings, particularly targeting minority communities. These incidents have often been linked to accusations of cow slaughter, beef consumption, and religious intolerance.[1][2]

Cow Vigilantism

edit

Many of the lynchings have been attributed to cow vigilantes who have taken it upon themselves to enforce laws against cow slaughter. In some states, the protection of cows, which are considered sacred in Hinduism, has been a significant issue, leading to violent actions against those suspected of harming or consuming cows.[3]

Targeting of Minorities

edit

A significant number of the victims of these lynchings have been Muslims, as well as Dalits (members of the lowest caste in India’s traditional hierarchy). This has raised concerns about rising religious and caste-based intolerance.[4][5][6]
