Every year on the 9th of August, India celebrates World Indigenous People’s Day, also known as Vishwa Moolnivasi Divas. Various locations across the nation organize numerous small and large-scale events, where individuals from tribal societies and other groups actively participate; we will delve into more detail in a later section of this article. Now you will know that:
An attempt to confuse the tribes
- Currently, efforts are underway to unite other Dalits-scheduled castes with India’s tribals by recognizing them as their original inhabitants.
- India supports the cause of the indigenous people of the world and the underprivileged, but we should not be blind and lose our conscience in this race of solidarity.
- We must not overlook the fact that individuals who are deceiving the tribes are currently leading the charge to undermine our religion, culture, and sense of identity. We need a serious understanding and explanation of who is doing what behind the scenes in the Bahurupiya garb.
- Today, the tribal groups of India celebrate August 9 as ‘Vishwa Moolnivasi Divas’ by becoming a part of the Sheep Chawl. Native Americans refer to it as American Genocide Day. Every year on August 9, several thousand people protest against this day outside the United Nations. The church has led the celebration of ‘Vishwa Moolnivasi Divas’ on August 9 for the last several years. This celebration has propagated numerous anti-Indian viewpoints. These separatist global indigenous conspiracies are responsible for incidents similar to Pathalgadi.
- International forces are actively working towards the dissolution of the tribal society in India. The purpose of these forces is also to promote the celebration of Native Day. We must comprehend that we have no association with this day. What has occurred with indigenous people in countries such as America, Australia, and New Zealand is not comparable to what has occurred in India. Regrettably, certain foreign entities are actively manipulating the tribal society to incite conflict with other communities.For this, they turned the day of August 9 into ammunition.
- The information revolution and social media have virtually destroyed the geographical and linguistic barriers in recent years, using them to bolster disruptive forces. The fatal consequences to India’s integrity are there for anyone to see. Wars for religion and commercial prosperity have complemented each other since the 11th century. Its foundation is the “New Christian Economic Theory,” which attempts to Christianize black or non-European peoples. To achieve this, major European powers are actively working in developing countries, focusing on the principle of conversion, and then establishing new nations under the guise of humanitarian efforts. The UN agency UNPO provides assistance to groups seeking a separate country, ranging from human rights to identity. The Naga People’s Front is a member of the United Nations Organization. It has been the opinion of many other European countries, including Norway, that the Nagas deserve a completely separate country of their own on ethnic and religious grounds. In that respect, the example of East Timor stands out as a case in point.
- The British divided India into two on religious grounds in 1947. Could this be the reason for the alienation of a significant portion of India’s nearly 705 tribal communities from Hinduism? Numerous organizations, both domestically and internationally, are grappling with the challenge of advocating for a distinct religious code for the tribal society, or a separate religion from Hinduism, in the 2021 census, with the aim of reducing the number of Hindus globally.
- Christianizing mission organizations could then blend these new religions with Christianity, thereby fostering religious separatism. Various anti-national forces in our country appear to be moving in this direction. Various agitations and Naxalite movements in different states of our country, especially in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, and Maharashtra, are becoming part of this international conspiracy.
- All these conspiracies find their answer only in that revival of cultural nationalism, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi talked about while performing the ground-breaking ceremony at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple recently.
- Tribal society does not conceal the existence of Ram and the Ramayana; rather, their connection is evident to all. Kaushalya, the mother of Lord Ram, belonged to the ‘Kashyap’ gotra, which is the gotra of the Kanwar tribe. Even today, the people of the ‘Kanwar’ community worship ‘Kaushalya’ as their daughter. Lord Ram is considered to be the “Bhanej” of the tribal society. At that time, Kaushal was known as Chhattisgarh, and the king of Kaushal Pradesh had a daughter named Kaushalya. Rama’s color was dusky, whereas his father, King Dasharatha, was white; this was because Rama’s mother was also dusky. Usha, daughter of Bana, the tribal king of Tezpur in Assam, and Aniruddha, the grandson of Krishna, were married to each other. Not only do Ram and Krishna share social ties, but they also share blood ties with the tribal society that a global conspiracy seeks to eradicate.
- Suggestions and solutions
- The central and state governments should implement the conservation and development laws and schemes meant for the tribals with strong will.
- Only when top and responsible government officials sincerely implement the government’s policies and programs, avoiding the temptation of immediate political-economic benefits, can peace and prosperity return to the sensitive tribal areas.
- Simultaneously, the process of acquiring and rehabilitating land for projects requires greater sensitivity and responsibility.
- The Land Acquisition Act, 2013 and the Mines and Minerals (Amendment) Act, 2015 have taken commendable steps towards ensuring that the displaced and affected people share the benefits.
- Tribals will also have to fight for their rights vociferously and unitedly as conscious citizens of this country, avoiding the conspiracies of external forces. Only by considering these things can we develop ourselves, our society, and the country.
