"Even the word religious conversion is not appropriate as
originally tribals neither profess Hinduism nor Christianity.Very
few are genuinely interested in their development.Issues of
religious conversion are thrust upon them and fight begins.Can we
not have any development without touching their religious lives?"

Dear All,
I find most of the information posted are based on secondary sources
like media and officials reports.facts are most of the times
different.Reservation is not the main issue.It is the religious
conversion and aggressive attitude of some fundamentalist
groups. Even the word religious conversion is not appropriate as
