Partition in tribal society

Partition in tribal society, The tribal society of Jharkhand is smoldering within. This ignominy is due to the division that is taking place inside the society, which divides the tribal people into Sarna and Christian groups. Many believe that various Christian missionaries in the state have been indulging in the conversion of the tribals of the state for a long time under the guise of service, but now the matter is catching on. There has been a demand from Sarna tribals and their leaders that the tribals who have become Christians should be excluded from the purview of the Scheduled Tribes. They argue that one cannot take advantage of minority and scheduled tribes simultaneously.

Hope of establishing Ramrajya

There is a belief among anti-conversion leaders that the Church is plotting against them and arming their religion and culture, so that their originality and identity can be brought to the Christian camp. There is no doubt that many things change in the lives of tribals who adopt Christianity. For example, they start going to church and break up with traditional places of worship like Manjhi Thanh and Zaher Thanh. Their social rites and festivals also make them fall apart. They are also accused of not accepting the daughters of their homeland Sarna family or placing a condition on them for accepting Christianity.

Due to all these factors the distance between Sarna and Christian tribals is increasing. However, the state government has passed the Jharkhand Religious Freedom Bill, 2017, which bans conversion on the basis of greed or greed. This act has been made a punishable offense. The conversion of the law has not stopped completely, but there has been a significant decrease in the number of applications coming to the Deputy Commissioners for conversion to various tribal dominated districts.

What do you mean by administrative law?

It is noteworthy that Jharkhand, like many other tribal-dominated states, is protected by the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution, where the President can enact special laws for the protection of the civilization and culture of the people of the state on the advice of the Governor. Then why not stop the conversion of these tribal groups completely for the purpose of protecting the culture and culture? Opponents of this view, however, argue that tribal identity is not based on religion. People are born from tribal and no tribal rights can be taken away from them.

However, in the election season, this matter has also taken political color, where BJP and Sarna tribal organizations are in favor of complete ban on conversion, while the Christian organizations of the state are opposing any such possible move. . At present, BJP has won the first bet by making conversions illegal by greed and greed.
