A person protesting in a cowโs head costume is trying to bring awareness that cows are treated better than women under the law in India.
India is currently considering a bill to allow the death penalty for killing a cow. Hindu nationalists have beaten and killed Muslims, Christians, and Dalits for allegedly eating beef or transporting milk.
He notes:
โI am perturbed by the fact that in my country, cows are considered more important than a woman, that it takes much longer for a woman who is raped or assaulted to get justice than for a cow which many Hindus consider a sacred animal,โ Delhi-based photographer Sujatro Ghosh told the BBC.
India is often in the news for crimes against women and, according to government statistics, a rape is reported every 15 minutes.
โThese cases go on for years in the courts before the guilty are punished, whereas when a cow is slaughtered, Hindu extremist groups immediately go and kill or beat up whoever they suspect of slaughter.โ
