Tribals Threaten To Boycott 2024 Lok Sabha Poll If No Sarna Code By Then

Stepping up their demand for a separate religion, tribals from various States across the country and some representatives from Bhutan and Nepal as well on Sunday (March 12) held a big rally in the Jharkhand capital, Sudhir Kumar Mishra reports

Ranchi

From women in traditional tribal attire to men wielding their traditional bows and arrows — the historic Morhabadi Ground here saw adivasis gather in large numbers in support of their demand for a separate Sarna Religion Code.

They “resolved” not to vote for “anyone” in the 2024 general elections, if a separate Sarna Religion Code did not become fully functional before the poll schedule was announced. “Code nahin toh vote nahin (No Code, No Vote),” was one of their main slogans.

Members of the Scheduled Tribes community in attendance danced to the tune of music played by traditional instruments and displayed the indigenous culture. Many among them even had their bodies painted with slogans in support of the Sarna Religion Code.

Tribal Women In Traditional Attire In The Rally For Sarna Religion Code

The participants wondered why the government at the Centre was reluctant to pass the Sarna Religion Code, even though the States of Jharkhand and West Bengal have passed resolutions to this effect in their respective Vidhan Sabhas. They argued that the religious and cultural values of tribals cannot be equated with the followers of any other religious faith.

“Sarna is a separate religion. We worship the Nature. The 2011 census report says that 49.57 lakh people based in 29 states and union territories across the country had said that their religious faith is Sarna, which is much higher than the Jains – 44.51 lakh. Then why is this discrimination with us? The Jains have been granted a separate religious code,” thundered Sarna spiritual leader Bandhan Tigga.  

Raji Pahara Sarna Prarthana Sabha chief Ram Kishun Oraon from Nepal informed that a separate Sarna Code was functional in his country too, even though its total population was barely 3 crore and the tribal population was minimal. For his part, Manilal Hembrom from Odisha alleged that the tribals were being misguided in the name of delisting aimed at converting them to Hindus.

Rashtriya Adivasi Chhatra Sangh president Sangam Oroan, however, raised the issue of the indigenous community’s opposition to granting Scheduled Tribes status to Kurmis and Mahtos of Jharkhand. “Some of my comrades were of the view that this wasn’t the opportune moment to raise this issue. But, I aired my views,” he asserted.

Tribals in Jharkhand (with 26% ST population), Odisha (23%), Bengal (6%), Assam (12%) and Bihar (1%) have been demanding Sarna as a separate religion and even resorted to rail and road blockades in support of their demand.

Van Dhan Kendra set up for Andaman’s Onge tribe

In a bid to make the Onge tribe self-sustainable through coconut-based products, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands administration has set up a Van Dhan Vikas Kendra for them at Dugong Creek, in Little Andaman, under the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyay Maha Abhiyan. Initially, 56 members of the Onge tribe will be part of VDVK and focus on producing value-added coconut-based products, including high-quality copra and cold-pressed coconut oil. The PVTG Onge VDVK members have been trained in copra processing, coconut oil extraction, and the use of specialised machinery that has been set up. Dugong Creek, which is about 93 km from Port Blair, is a reserved area for the Onge tribe and is currently home to only 140 people, including 74 males and 66 females.
