Rajasthan: Hindu farmers and cattle traders are angry with Gau Rakshak Chaddis

Why Hindu farmers and cattle traders in Rajasthan are angry with gau rakshaks
Those who buy and sell milch cows and oxen for farm work say cow vigilantes have made it impossible for them to conduct their business.
In October, Banjara organised a public protest against Bajrang Dal activists who abducted a member of the Banjara community and his two sons along with the six oxen they had purchased from Rajsamand district to sell them in South Rajasthan. (His interview can be read here).
“We Banjaras trade in oxen, not in cows,” said Banjara. “These oxen are used to plough the rocky terrain of South Rajasthan. Trading oxen is our identity, our right. And, mind you, we too are Hindus. But the vigilantes have turned the cow into an emotional issue for their dubious ends.”
