The Bhartiya Gau Raksha Dal (lit. 'Indian Cow Protection Organisation'; abbr.:BGRD) is an Indian right-wing Hindutva militant organisation. Involved in the cow protection movement, the group is affiliated with the right-wing Hindutva paramilitary organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and is a member of the Sangh Parivar. It regularly engages in vigilante violence against minorities, primarily Muslims and Dalits. It was founded in 2012 by Pawan Pandit. Considered to be a vigilante paramilitary organisation, the BGRD has a Gau Commando Force, involving vigilantes patrolling state borders for people smuggling cows and conducting raids on slaughterhouses. The organisation is regularly involved in anti-Muslim and anti-Dalit violence. Despite credible evidence, many of the accused have faced minimal legal consequences. Furthermore, the police often coordinates and works with the group. The group itself has been criticised by many for its engagement in vigilante policing. More information...
