The poor indigenous Dalits, for instance, are perhaps a plurality of India’s population. In the census they are counted as Hindus (part of the majority), but in reality they are treated as sub human, even called “untouchables.” Imagine going through life being treated as an untouchable. 

Thus after suffering hate and intolerance for thousands of years, some Harijans have taken up arms as part of the Naxalite movement, a Maoist insurgency which controls a significant chunk of Indian territory, creating a no-man’s land running north and south that could potentially split India into two.

If the issue is about the sacred cow, then India is no different from all the ancient cultures in Africa and the Middle-East. The cow(bull, heifer) was a much revered animal in every ancient culture. The gods were associated with all blessings of the animal. Shiva is associated with the Nandi bull. I am doubtful whether the Brahmins would slaughter the cow for a meal. Not even for a sacrifice.  

They are treated the same in other religious communities in India.  No justification for it anywhere.
