ABSTRACT
“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere ….” Martin Luther King India is a secular country and it guarantees the right to religion to all individuals in the absence of any kind of discrimination. However, communalism has forced Indian society to divide into small groups spreading hatred on each other. Focusing on the present time, one of the most mentionable and debatable issues is the issue of cow vigilantism and mob lynching. The reason behind this cow vigilante violence can be traced back to the difference of opinion in Hinduism and Islam. Viewing this matter in the lens of Human Rights and Fundamental Rights guaranteed under the UDHR and the Constitution of India, it is a direct violation
of the right to religion and religious practices, and the right to life. Mob lynching and communal violence have now become the new normal in India based on the increased number of similar cases since 2014. The system of criminal justice in India has failed to mitigate the number of mob lynching cases and to deter the culprits of the same. In this case, the miscarriage of criminal justice in India begins with a lack of serious stringent charges against the culprits. In this regard, the Supreme Court of India has described mob lynching to be a "horrendous act of mobocracy” in 2018. It is high time for the government to wake up and regulate all the states to take sufficient measures and implement laws in this regard of mob violence and communal hatred, or India will be an example of brutal deaths, communal violence, and violation of human rights.
A completely biased paper and cherry-picking of cases no data given to prove that Mob lynching grow just after 2014 and before that everything is glorious.
There is a research lacuna in referring to the Constitution as " The DPSPs" also have a great significance when these topics are discussed with a stern belief that the Constitution is just revolving around the fundamental rights.
Conclusions from this paper about this researcher:-
Biasness is completely visible victimization of the Muslim community and accusing the Hindu community without any real reported cases.
Poor research ethics.
Lazy researcher and a very poor researched paper.
The researcher claims to be a lawyer but has a vague knowledge of Law.
The Irony with this so-called…
