I think this talk on tribals are not Hindus stems from some 'historic'
statements. First it was the British and their Indian stooges. Next was
the Jawaharlal Nehru led marxist bogey.It was the marxist theory that placed the Brahmins, Kshatriyas and
Vaishyas as alien to this land and placed them out of this country
despite every evidence countering their claims. These patriotic people,
once the very backbone of Indian society are today placed under various
categories as OBC, etc. Today's gene study analyses groups based on a concept of tribes. For
example the genes of brahmins are studied as tribes and specific groups
of people are also categorised according to their own tribal origin. So,
every group has a lineage starting from a specific tribe. But, the self appointed messiahs of tribes in this group still harp on
the 'tribals are separate' theory as if they descended from Mars . The
language of tribals, and their scripts are so close to other Indian
languages. We have so many historic and mythological references
mentioning tribals, and we have saints from their ranks. But, still we
see the same bboringly repeated statements saying the tribals heve
separate identity. They forget the simple fact that every caste group in
the country is separate. But no one claims separate religion status. One should remember that the last word on Indian history is not said
yet. In fact the conclusion is very far off. Nehru's conclusion that
Rigveda was written just three thousand years ago and describing
Ramayana as the struggle between Aryan and Dravidian people is simply
rubbish to say the least. Modern digs in Afganistan has placed Indian
civilization at 7000 BC ! And when did the fair skinned aryan enter
India ? And how did he persecute the just three thousand year old tribal
people into submission ? These questions have to be squarely dealt with before awarding the
tribals a separate religious status. Till then no threat of legal suits
will cook.
