Hindu Unity Under Siege: Exposing the Agenda Behind the Sarna Religion Demand

Tribals such as Santhal, Munda, Oraon, and others are an integral part of Hindu Dharma. Their traditions of nature worship, reverence for family and village deities, and community rituals are deeply rooted in Dharmic culture.

The recent push for a separate “Sarna religion” is driven more by political interests, electoral strategies, and conversion agendas than by genuine concern for tribal welfare.

The distinct culture and practices of tribals are already safeguarded by the Constitution and various laws, ensuring their customs and traditions remain protected.

The vanavasis of Bharat have historically lived within Hindu Dharmic traditions. The Vanaprastha Ashram, the Aranyakas, and other scriptures reflect that tribal ways of life and worship have always been part of Sanatan Dharma.

Recognizing Sarna as a separate religion would divide tribal society itself, since not all tribes follow Sarna practices. Other groups, such as the Nagas, Khasis, and Bhils, could also demand separate identities, leading to further disunity.
