Cow vigilantism must be reined in. There is no doubt about this. It has become a terrible menace in the state of Haryana.

It is a state with an exceptionally violent society where violence has been reduced to just a way of life. Violence is so commonplace that the Aam Aadmi is inured to it.
By the way, suggesting people to read Khushwant Singh is not exactly a good idea. He was, at best, a mediocre writer but got overhyped as is often the case with Punjabi authors writing in English. A Punjabi writing in English is indeed a curiosity which draws widespread admiration in the living room discussions of the Delhi elite.
