Family Guy is one of the most popular adult animated (cartoon) TV sitcom shows in both the USA and Australia.
Created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company, Family Guy takes a unique but twisted view of the world.
Of all the main characters, the duo of Brian and Stewie are most popular with audiences.
Last year, the Family Guy broadcast an episode that dealt with the Indian Gua Rakshaks ('Protectors of Cow' also known as the Cow Vigilantes).
Since 2012, a few cow protection groups are spearheading a campaign against the killing of cows or beef ban in India.
Traditionally, cows are considered sacred in Hinduism.
Although, primarily started to protect cattle, open cattle shelters and advocate for the promotion of cattle protection, some Gua Rakshak members have turned into cow vigilantes.
They have been in the news lately for their alleged involvement in the numerous incidents of mob lynching cattle traders.

Family Guy's episode called “Road to India” features a 30-second scene in episode 20 of season 14, the clip of which, titled ‘Quick Push the Red Buttons’ is now doing the rounds of social media.

The plot of the episode centres on Brian and Stewie flying down to India in search of Brain’s love Padma. But it does feature Indian men with 'red tilak' (mark) on their forehead.
The show refers to this 'red tilak' as ‘red buttons’ which is considered highly offensive by Indians.
As 'tilak' is mostly worn every day in many parts of India by sadhus (religious men) and householders.
On special religious occasions it is worn as a sign of the deity's blessing for both men, women and even foreign tourists.
The four men seen in the clip are Gua Rakshaks who are shown as being sensitive about Stewie and Brian's demand for a steak.
Till now the reactions to this sarcastic clip that has been viewed around 18000 times on Youtube have been mild with people either going along the duo's humour or responding to it as 'racist.' 
As Indian media such as the Indian Express have picked-up the news, now only time will tell what reactions, both social and political, this video of Family Guy will gather in India.

Often these 'cow vigilantes' and their supporters have trolled national and international artists and intellectuals for raising concern over this issue.
A recent example is of American comedian Jeremy McLellanwho was recently abused on social media by 'cow vigilantes' for posting news and comments related to a certain story.
He received a number of abuses that he shared on social media as screenshots.
Jeremy told Alt News about the issue: “I’m a comedian, so I have really thick skin, but when people aim this abuse at people who aren’t used to it, it can do real damage. I also have nothing against Hindus or Muslims or any religion.”
In the light of Family Guy, sarcastic comedy and social media trolling, SBS Hindi asked Jeremy - has trolling in anyway changed his love or impression of India?

He says "I have a great view of Indians and Hindus. Whenever I post anything about cow vigilantes or Hindu extremists there are dozens of Indian fans commenting that it doesn't represent them. You can't judge a culture by its worst subculture."
