Mob lynching has a long history While there are many examples of mob punishment without trial in Europe, there are many such incidents of black people in America. The origin of the word lynching is believed to be associated with Captain William Lynch or Charles Lynch in the American Planetary War. William Lynch is said to have maintained a tribunal. of which he was a self-proclaimed judge and where he used to give all the simple death sentence to the accused without hearing the side of the accused and without any trial.

Between 1882 and 1918, more than 3500 people were put to death here. This is a record in itself. The term lynching was coined in the year 1780 and its use was initially limited to America. Later this practice spread to other countries as well. In view of the increasing incidents of lynching in America, an anti-lynching law was enacted in 1922.

In India too, incidents of mob lynching since ancient times cannot be ruled out.

Incidents such as openly murder and honor killing of girls for love marriage with non-caste castes or wearing jeans-pants under modern ideas contrary to the prevailing customs, are frequent in some parts of western Uttar Pradesh. Similarly, under the traditions based on superstition, incidents of mob lynching and public beating of so-called lower class people by killing them often happen in India.

What does the National Crime Bureau report of India say According to a report of the National Crime Bureau, from the year 2001 to 2014, 2209 women were murdered in the country for fear of being witches. Of these, 464 such murders took place in Jharkhand, 415 in Odisha, 383 in Andhra Pradesh and 209 in Haryana. Which has been done only by superstition or well-planned masses.

According to the current intellectual discourse of India, lynching requires the involvement of community and politically conflicting communities as victims or victims for enumeration. Therefore, for the all-round development of India, along with ensuring the fulfillment of the basic needs of the majority of the poor community, it is also necessary to change the attitude of the prevailing intellectual discourse by making them progressive and intelligent according to the times and by including them in the mainstream of the society.

Mob lynching has been a topic of general debate over the past decade, a major debate in the streets, newspapers, TV channels, social media and even in Parliament.

Incidents of mob-lynching in the name of religion have happened in many parts of our country. In these lynching incidents, mainly in the name of cow protection, there have been lynchings related to cases of child theft, rape.

From the incident of Mohd Akhlaq of Dadri being lynched by a mob with bricks and sticks on suspicion of consuming beef to the incident of Rakbar Khan of Alwar being killed on suspicion of smuggling a cow, there were 134 cases of mob lynching during the year 2014 to 2018. There have been cases. According to the news published in Amar Ujala, according to a government data, from 2014 to 2018, a total of 85 cases of mob lynching in the name of cow protection came to light.

50 percent of the victims in the incidents were Muslims.

Whereas in 20 percent of the cases, the religious caste of the victims could not be known. At the same time, 11 percent of Dalits had to be victims of such violence. The cow protectors did not spare even the Hindus. Hindus were also victimized in 09 percent of the cases. Whereas tribals and Sikhs also had to be victims in 01 percent of the cases. Regarding the increasing incidents of lynching, the Hon'ble Supreme Court has also given strict instructions to the government to make laws as soon as possible to prevent lynching in the name of child trafficking, cow protection. At present, by issuing a

directive, the police and administration have been expected to establish control over mob lynching.

The reasons for these incidents include resentment towards the police-administration and justice system in the society and anger about security, lack of mutual trust between different communities, rumors and lack of awareness. Misuse of social media, exodus apart from the politics of hate. To overcome these reasons, the decline of moral values ​in the society has to be removed by bringing seriousness towards the sense of personal duty and responsibility.

With some such spirit, there is a need to develop an environment to live in mutual harmony despite ideological differences. Apart from this, by eradicating the business of religion being done in the name of faith and belief in the society, by educating the people in reality, a society with logical and practical ideology will have to be established based on the middle class point of view. Only then will it be possible to get rid of such evils.
