Sir: According to content analysis of the English media, Muslims were the target of 51 percent of violence centered on bovine issues for nearly eight years (2010 to 2017) and comprised 86 percent of 28 Indians killed in 63 incidents. As many of 97 percent of these attacks were reported after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government came to power in May 2014, and about half the cow related violence 32 of 63 cases were from states governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) when the attacks were reported. This was revealed in analysis of violence recorded until June 25, 2017. In yet another instance, people in name of ‘Gau Bhakti’ took the law into their hands and lynched another innocent Muslim to death on suspicion of carrying beef. Ironically, this incident happened at a time when PM Modi finally broke his silence and spoke up against cow vigilantes and warned those who are killing people and spreading violence in name of ‘Gau Bhakti’. There is a need to expose Modi’s fundamental policies dictated by RSS, to unleash atrocities on Indian minorities and still showcase India to be a secular state. Unfortunately, secular claims are not substantiated by the ground realities. The reality is that India has an unwritten mandate of pushing the minorities against the wall through state policies as well as by hardliner Hindu politicians.
