It is pity that Sri Venkat has spoken with half knowledge. He should
first know that tribals are not Hindus. Tribals have right to follow
and practice any faith as they like. He has stated that Nagaland has
English as a State language. Don't we know what language the
Government of India is using. He has mentioned that conversion have
resulted in separist movement. One should know that Ctholic Church
do meddle with politics. Priests and bishops are forbidden to take
part in politics. If some priest want to join politics he has to
leave priesthood first. If someone speaks about missionaries one
should know in what condition they opened schools in remote areas
where no NGO, no other religion dared to go and educate tribals. If
one should go and visit the tribal belt of Chotanagpur, one will
find no Government school and hospita/ primary health care centre.
It is only the church who provided these poor tribals education and
medical facilities. The services of church is not free to lure or
dupe these tribals. Though I was never resided in Chotanagpur
region, apart from tribals only business men class are found. These
business men or baniyas were not settled in tribal areas to help
tribals but to exploit and enslave them as their servants. Now since
tribals are educated these baniyas are finding difficult to exploit
them. Many baniyas have now sold their land and moving away and
perhaps behind the attack on christians in the name of conversions.
Sri Venkat has also stated about the culture and traditions. One
should know that even though the tribals have converted to
christianity they have maintained their culture and traditions. The
ageold customs are still followed right from birth to death. We
still celebrate karam, sarhul or navakhani. I have not seen the
church interfering in our culture, customs or traditions. As a
citizen of India, we must respect all religion. barla vincent ------------------------------------ Replying to this email will send an e-mail to 8500+ members of Jharkhand Forum. +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ About Jharkhand Forum @ http://www.jharkhand.org.in/about-jharkhand-forum Jharkhand Forum's Posting Norms http://jharkhand.org.in/posting_norms.htm Add your ORG Name in Directory - http://directory.jharkhand.org.in Join Jharkhand Network to Make New Friends @ http://JHARKHAND.ning.com Jharkhand Forum is run by Internet Volunteer Groups, if you wish to
