On Friday, the US State Department said that 2021 was a year of attacks on the minority communities in India, especially Muslims. The annual report was published by Secretary of State Antony Blinken which comprised separate chapters about the state of religious freedom and violations in all countries. “Attacks included incidents of ‘cow vigilantism’ against non-Hindus based on allegations of cow slaughter or trade of beef,” said the India section of the report.
