The lynching of Mohammad Akhlaq in his home outside Delhi in September 2015 on suspicion that he consumed beef has been followed by a rash of attacks by cow vigilante groups across North India. At least three people have been killed this year so far, and several beaten, flogged and subjected to severe indignities. In Gujarat, the flogging of Dalits for skinning a dead cow has triggered spontaneous street protests not seen in years, and contributed to circumstances that seemingly led to the resignation of Chief Minister Anandiben Patel. Recent milestones on the dangerous road that India appears to be on.
