It is necessary to create a new tribal society: Salkhan Murmu
Only then they will get social, religious, political freedom. He said that in the 2011 census, the number of nature-worshipping tribals had written Sarna Dharma in the number of about 50 lakhs and those who wrote Jainism were about 44 lakhs. Then why have the tribals been denied the recognition of the Sarna Dharma Code till now? He said that it is necessary to create a new tribal society.
