No comment on the specifics of these issues, but I find the Wikipedia pages illuminating.
The “cow lynching” one has details about every incident. Whereas the “terrorist attacks” one simply has summaries.
The “cow lynching” is treated as far more important where each incident needs to be explained, but the much more numerous and impactful terrorist incidents are treated as less important.
Like Stalin said, 1 death is a tragedy, 1 million deaths is a statistic.

Business as usual. I remember once when a political party in Bangalore bombed their own headquarters - but got caught doing it. Oops. Within a day or two, the scandal was out of the headlines to be replaced by yet another issue. Trash disposal problems, I think.
