&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NUH/ ALWAR/ JAIPUR: &lt;/em&gt;Thirty-five year old Munna is sipping his midmorning cup of tea with his uncle Ali Mohammed at Sharma dhaba. This resident of Doha village in Nuh district of Haryana has just wrapped up the day at Jaipur&amp;rsquo;s weekly Hatwara pashu mela (cattle fair) buying 10 buffaloes for himself. He has reason to be vigilant as he prepares for the evening journey across the border.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We have the papers but that doesn&amp;rsquo;t stop anyone from harassing us. Every police Gypsy, every gaurakshak (cow vigilante) picket needs to be paid from here till Nuh,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he resists, his buffaloes would be seized and he would have to wait for two days, spelling a loss for him at his local Ferozepur-Jhirka pashu mela.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did he buy any cows at the mela?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Cows and us Muslims?&amp;rdquo; he said, incredulity welling up in his eyes. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t want to die before I marry off my children.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
graph&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along the route that dairy farmers such as Munna and Ali Mohammed take &amp;ndash; buying their cattle from Hatwara pashu mela every Saturday, through Alwar and across the border into Nuh &amp;ndash; ET found a political economy that has pitted Hindu cow vigilantes against Muslim dairy farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locals, in what is perhaps northern India&amp;rsquo;s most backward region, said that even as both sides often brandish firearms the police looks the other way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;ECONOMICS OF GAURAKSHA &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dairy farmers and traders hire small pickup trucks or use their own to ferry the cattle bought at the mela. They transport these to Alwar or to Haryana and sell them at a profit to the locals. &amp;ldquo;The rate of gaurakshaks and police is fixed. It can range from Rs 500 per vehicle per trip to Rs 1,000. So per trip we end up paying Rs 10-11,000,&amp;rdquo; said Ali Mohammed, who has been coming to this fair for over 25 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is operating in the name of gau raksha or cow protection appears to be a well-oiled extortion racket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rajasthan Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act prohibits transport of cattle across the state without a certificate from the collector. For farmers, this paperwork is tedious, and so they take the risk of transporting cattle across to Haryana without requisite papers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;NUH/ ALWAR/ JAIPUR: &lt;/em&gt;Thirty-five year old Munna is sipping his midmorning cup of tea with his uncle Ali Mohammed at Sharma dhaba.

&amp;ldquo;We have the papers but that doesn&amp;rsquo;t stop anyone from harassing us. Every police Gypsy, every gaurakshak (cow vigilante) picket needs to be paid from here till Nuh,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he resists, his buffaloes would be seized and he would have to wait for two days, spelling a loss for him at his local Ferozepur-Jhirka pashu mela.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did he buy any cows at the mela?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Cows and us Muslims?&amp;rdquo; he said, incredulity welling up in his eyes. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t want to die before I marry off my children.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
graph&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along the route that dairy farmers such as Munna and Ali Mohammed take &amp;ndash; buying their cattle from Hatwara pashu mela every Saturday, through Alwar and across the border into Nuh &amp;ndash; ET found a political economy that has pitted Hindu cow vigilantes against Muslim dairy farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locals, in what is perhaps northern India&amp;rsquo;s most backward region, said that even as both sides often brandish firearms the police looks the other way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;ECONOMICS OF GAURAKSHA &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dairy farmers and traders hire small pickup trucks or use their own to ferry the cattle bought at the mela. They transport these to Alwar or to Haryana and sell them at a profit to the locals. &amp;ldquo;The rate of gaurakshaks and police is fixed. It can range from Rs 500 per vehicle per trip to Rs 1,000. So per trip we end up paying Rs 10-11,000,&amp;rdquo; said Ali Mohammed, who has been coming to this fair for over 25 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is operating in the name of gau raksha or cow protection appears to be a well-oiled extortion racket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rajasthan Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act prohibits transport of cattle across the state without a certificate from the collector. For farmers, this paperwork is tedious, and so they take the risk of transporting cattle across to Haryana without requisite papers.&lt;br /&gt;

-The Economic Times&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NUH/ ALWAR/ JAIPUR: &lt;/em&gt;Thirty-five year old Munna is sipping his midmorning cup of tea with his uncle Ali Mohammed at Sharma dhaba. This resident of Doha village in Nuh district of Haryana has just wrapped up the day at Jaipur&amp;rsquo;s weekly Hatwara pashu mela (cattle fair) buying 10 buffaloes for himself. He has reason to be vigilant as he prepares for the evening journey across the border.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We have the papers but that doesn&amp;rsquo;t stop anyone from harassing us. Every police Gypsy, every gaurakshak (cow vigilante) picket needs to be paid from here till Nuh,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he resists, his buffaloes would be seized and he would have to wait for two days, spelling a loss for him at his local Ferozepur-Jhirka pashu mela.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did he buy any cows at the mela?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Cows and us Muslims?&amp;rdquo; he said, incredulity welling up in his eyes. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t want to die before I marry off my children.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
graph&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along the route that dairy farmers such as Munna and Ali Mohammed take &amp;ndash; buying their cattle from Hatwara pashu mela every Saturday, through Alwar and across the border into Nuh &amp;ndash; ET found a political economy that has pitted Hindu cow vigilantes against Muslim dairy farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locals, in what is perhaps northern India&amp;rsquo;s most backward region, said that even as both sides often brandish firearms the police looks the other way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;ECONOMICS OF GAURAKSHA &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dairy farmers and traders hire small pickup trucks or use their own to ferry the cattle bought at the mela. They transport these to Alwar or to Haryana and sell them at a profit to the locals. &amp;ldquo;The rate of gaurakshaks and police is fixed. It can range from Rs 500 per vehicle per trip to Rs 1,000. So per trip we end up paying Rs 10-11,000,&amp;rdquo; said Ali Mohammed, who has been coming to this fair for over 25 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is operating in the name of gau raksha or cow protection appears to be a well-oiled extortion racket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rajasthan Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act prohibits transport of cattle across the state without a certificate from the collector. For farmers, this paperwork is tedious, and so they take the risk of transporting cattle across to Haryana without requisite papers.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NUH/ ALWAR/ JAIPUR: &lt;/em&gt;Thirty-five year old Munna is sipping his midmorning cup of tea with his uncle Ali Mohammed at Sharma dhaba. This resident of Doha village in Nuh district of Haryana has just wrapped up the day at Jaipur&amp;rsquo;s weekly Hatwara pashu mela (cattle fair) buying 10 buffaloes for himself. He has reason to be vigilant as he prepares for the evening journey across the border.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We have the papers but that doesn&amp;rsquo;t stop anyone from harassing us. Every police Gypsy, every gaurakshak (cow vigilante) picket needs to be paid from here till Nuh,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If he resists, his buffaloes would be seized and he would have to wait for two days, spelling a loss for him at his local Ferozepur-Jhirka pashu mela.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Did he buy any cows at the mela?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Cows and us Muslims?&amp;rdquo; he said, incredulity welling up in his eyes. &amp;ldquo;I don&amp;rsquo;t want to die before I marry off my children.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
graph&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Along the route that dairy farmers such as Munna and Ali Mohammed take &amp;ndash; buying their cattle from Hatwara pashu mela every Saturday, through Alwar and across the border into Nuh &amp;ndash; ET found a political economy that has pitted Hindu cow vigilantes against Muslim dairy farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locals, in what is perhaps northern India&amp;rsquo;s most backward region, said that even as both sides often brandish firearms the police looks the other way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;ECONOMICS OF GAURAKSHA &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Dairy farmers and traders hire small pickup trucks or use their own to ferry the cattle bought at the mela. They transport these to Alwar or to Haryana and sell them at a profit to the locals. &amp;ldquo;The rate of gaurakshaks and police is fixed. It can range from Rs 500 per vehicle per trip to Rs 1,000. So per trip we end up paying Rs 10-11,000,&amp;rdquo; said Ali Mohammed, who has been coming to this fair for over 25 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is operating in the name of gau raksha or cow protection appears to be a well-oiled extortion racket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Rajasthan Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act prohibits transport of cattle across the state without a certificate from the collector. For farmers, this paperwork is tedious, and so they take the risk of transporting cattle across to Haryana without requisite papers.&lt;br /&gt;

Checkpoints at Mewat: Farmers complain of extortion in the name of cow protection -Nidhi Sharma

-The Economic Times NUH/ ALWAR/ JAIPUR: Thirty-five year old Munna is sipping his midmorning cup of tea with his uncle Ali Mohammed at Sharma dhaba. This resident of Doha village in Nuh district of Haryana has just wrapped up the day at Jaipur’s weekly Hatwara pashu mela (cattle fair) buying 10 buffaloes for himself. He has reason to be vigilant as he prepares for the evening journey across the border. “We have the papers but that doesn’t stop anyone from harassing us. Every police Gypsy, every gaurakshak (cow vigilante) picket needs to be paid from here till Nuh,” he said. If he resists, his buffaloes would be seized and he would have to wait for two days, spelling a loss for him at his local Ferozepur-Jhirka pashu mela. Did he buy any cows at the mela? “Cows and us Muslims?” he said, incredulity welling up in his eyes. “I don’t want to die before I marry off my children.” graph Along the route that dairy farmers such as Munna and Ali Mohammed take – buying their cattle from Hatwara pashu mela every Saturday, through Alwar and across the border into Nuh – ET found a political economy that has pitted Hindu cow vigilantes against Muslim dairy farmers. Locals, in what is perhaps northern India’s most backward region, said that even as both sides often brandish firearms the police looks the other way. ECONOMICS OF GAURAKSHA Dairy farmers and traders hire small pickup trucks or use their own to ferry the cattle bought at the mela. They transport these to Alwar or to Haryana and sell them at a profit to the locals. “The rate of gaurakshaks and police is fixed. It can range from Rs 500 per vehicle per trip to Rs 1,000. So per trip we end up paying Rs 10-11,000,” said Ali Mohammed, who has been coming to this fair for over 25 years. What is operating in the name of gau raksha or cow protection appears to be a well-oiled extortion racket. The Rajasthan Bovine Animal (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act prohibits transport of cattle across the state without a certificate from the collector. For farmers, this paperwork is tedious, and so they take the risk of transporting cattle across to Haryana without requisite papers. Please click here to read more.
