[@josephjames859]

@@snsingh1362 Half knowledge is dangerous. What you say is a simplistic and stereotyped explanation fed into you by vested interests. Nehru was not particularly keen on Northeastern tribals converting to Christianity. Advised by Verrier Elwin, a Christian missionary who embraced Hinduism and Buddhism and married a tribal girl, Nehru wanted to preserve the tribal religions and culture as it was, though he didn't much to stop conversions. His daughter, Indira Gandhi, contrary to popular perception, was vehemently opposed to conversions as she got intelligence reports that secessionism in the NE was caused by Christians. In fact, she wholeheartedly backed the Dhony Polo mission in Arunachal Pradesh and effectively used the Inner Line Permit to prevent Christian missionaries from entering Arunachal Pradesh. The Christian conversions in Arunachal Pradesh took place because of the missionary schools set up along the border in Assam. When you make a sweeping statement that Christianity fomented secessionism in NE, you forget that Christianity is not a monolithic structure. In NE there were the Trumpet church promoted by American missionaries, Scottish Presbyterian Church promoted by Anglicans and Catholicism promoted by European and South Indian missionaries. It's only in Nagaland and Mizoram, there were strong insurgencies. The Christian majority Meghalaya has never raised the demand for independence. It's true some missionaries in Nagaland openly campaigned for independence. That alone doesn't explain the Naga rebellion. Nagas are intelligent and very proud of their identity. Missionaries brought education. Education opened their eyes to the injustice meted out to the by successive governments at the centre. This is what made them rebel. Don't think that all missionaries were Anti-Indian. Many of them loved the tribal culture. It was they who created a script for many tribal languages. They became one with the people in lifestyle and died here as a tribal. NE phenomenon is very complex. Most people adopt a condescending attitude towards them and weave simplistic narratives about their transformation in the last two centuries. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Contrary to popular belief, Tribal Religion is related to Animism not Hinduism. The researcher should stop drawing parallels between Hinduism and other indigenous faiths just to prove her point and spread Hinduism among Tribals and discard Animism among them. And assuming these tribals were Hindus, then, why did they abandon Hinduism?? Definitely, not for the sake of joy but for the systematic racial and ethnic discrimination they had been facing since a long time in Hinduism!! Hinduism starts with Caste System and ends with Social Discrimination in which these simple and easy going Tribals are not comfortable living in, therefore, decided to abandon Hinduism altogether.

All those who gave up their native faith which is part of Hinduism, must be made to know that they are carrying the curses of their ancestors for not abiding by generations of family values, traditions, and native culture, all of which are dear to their ancestors. Getting converted means opening the doors to invite ancestral curses. This message must be loud and clear to converts in the northeast, and to all converts across India. Missionaries convert by telling that idol worship is sin, and God cannot be present in images made of stone. God is present everywhere and in anything including the atom, the subatomic particle and the idols. He came out of a pillar as Lord Narasimha to save his devotee Prahalad. To say God cannot be in idols, is attributing limitations to His infinitely glorious powers. The missionaries have a unique revengeful cruel god who has no power and cannot become small so as to be present anywhere and in idols, and who condemns innocent people to eternal hell fire. This is the second message to converts In the northeast and all across India.

What does research tell about the name India which describes our independent nation? ...is India not referring to the country of 'natives' which the British used to describe Bharatiyas as ...and the adjective close to it that is 'indigenous' which still refers to the ancient and the traditional cultures ... in a derogatory sense
