Nowadays conversions business has been slowed down. However, it is still
taking place in the interior places where father and Sisters are working in the
name of tribal welfare, but, their main target are the Sarna Adivasi who are
still professing the Animistic forms of religion.. This is very wrong and
sinful on the part of fathers or sisters who insist for converting one
illiterate to the other religion. Can missionary sisters or fathers will allow
preaching other religion in their primary and high schools. They generally
condemn other religions and lure the innocents to their religion. They never
tell about the demerits of Christianity. Which rules Christian like a tyranny
ruler? If you are raising any discomfort question about their rules, they
simply will not issue you the church letters on the occasion of marriage and
death. Once upon a time there was no division in the Adivasi community, when
everyone used to follow Sarna religion. However, foreigner came and divided our
society. Which is still being carried out by the Adivasi brothers and Sisters.
Now, Christians and Church in particular, are talking about unity in the
society when they get physical or other threats from the hinduvadi elements,
which have come in the Adivasi society on the line of missionary. . However, at
heart, they never feel brotherhoodness for the Sarna Adivasi. If missionary
would have done only welfare to the Adivasi, the Adivasi society would worship
them by installing their statue. However, they imposed their philosophy unto
the Adivasi society and tried at their best to destroy the Adivasi ethos. They
shepherd the Adivasi into the four brick wall of church in the name of their
so-called welfare. Where only their philosophy of division is working against
Adivasi society they don't want to mix with Sarna. Usually, they don't like to
invite Sarna Adivasi in their social events nor want to attend the Sarna family
in theirs. They wed their girls with non-tribals with full social consent, and
also bring girls from non tribals in the name of Christianity. However, if any
Christian boy or girl falls in love with Sarna girl or boy they insist to
convert into their religion first. They want to make one feel that unless and
until one is not converted into Christianity, one cannot progress. For this
purpose, they usually target those Sarna boys and girls who are somehow getting
education. So that less educated could be convinced with these arguments.
