Re: TRIBALS ARE NOT HINDUS- Research needed to find out our ancestoral roots.
Dear Lakraji,

I fully endorse your views. There appears to be a deep conspiracy by
certain groups in saying that Tribals are Hindus. Tibals have no
caste but all of them belong to a particular community and this
community has a way of life, tradtions, culture, method of worship.
Tribals see the presence of God in nature. Though we cannot say it
a religion in broader terms but we have our own system of worshiping
God which is distinct. During my visit to Chotanagpur area I have
not seen Idol worshiping among tribals even if they have not been
converted to Christianity or other religion. Tribals celebrate their
festivals together irrespective of the fact that many of them have
adopted christianity. So, we have to maintain our identity as
Tribals first. Regarding Aryan invasion I was reading few documents
available in internet. It is established that Aryans invasion made
Dravidians to fled to various parts of the country including hills.
I have some friends from Garwal Region. While I was participating in
their various ceremonies, it was evident that certain customs of
their are similar to that of Adivasis of Chotanagpur region. Aryan
invasion also resulted in Division of the Community. Over the period
of time, the language also underwent a change because they had to
assimilate with the people where they had migrated. One very
interesting thing is that it appears that some of our ancestors even
fled to Europian Countries. I found some people who are using titles
like Barwa, Bara, Barla, etc. I sent e-mails to some of them. I got
reply from few. They mentioned that they are using it as title their
root is somewhere near Sindhu Civilization. It is also seen that a
number of Oraons are also residing in Bangladesh. What I am saying
may not be fully correct or may be fully incorrect because this
requires more research.
