Honoring Martyrs of the Cow Protection Movement

Rohit Kumar Singh recalled that, on November 7, 1966, the government, led by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, ordered police to open fire on peaceful cow protection activists. The incident left a profound impact on the Sanatani community and its call for cow protection.

Origins of the Movement

Swami Karpatri Ji Maharaj, a leading saint of the 1950s, led the demand for a law banning cow slaughter. Despite his calls, the government did not take action. On November 7, 1966, thousands of saints and devotees gathered outside Parliament with cows and calves, demanding legal protection for cows.
