Answers
Answer:
Recently, while media channels were running a series of debates about the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, tribal representatives from around 19 states arrived at Jantar Mantar, and left after a day of silent protest. As always, TV channels as well as the newspapers in Delhi did not report on why they were protesting.
The tribal communities, constituting 12 crore of the country’s population, were protesting about religion. Although there has been a long debate about the religion that tribal communities follow, the tribals who took part in the protest were demanding the right to choose tribal or aboriginal religion as an option in the census or any other forms.
They say that in 1951, when the first census in independent India was being conducted, ‘tribe’ was available as the ninth option under the column for religion. It was later removed. The representatives allege that its removal has led tribes to be counted under different religions, which they say causes great harm to their communities.
