In Jharkhand, India's right-wing Hindu movement, led by the Rashtriya Swayamsevek Sangh (RSS), is actively working to convert tribal people to Hinduism, framing its activities under the guise of development. Millions of missionaries are impacting schools and healthcare facilities, and their unexpected success has surprised many observers. This conversion effort is intensifying religious divisions among Hindus, Christians, and nature-worshipers. A pushback is emerging within tribal communities, highlighting a more strategic and vocal resistance against this movement, which threatens to transform the diverse cultural fabric of India.
The evangelical campaign is among the most consequential endeavors of Rashtriya Swayamsevek Sangh (RSS), seeking to convince tribal people historically outside mainstream religion to identify as Hindu.
The work has proved unexpectedly effective, surprising observers as missionaries persuade tribal communities to construct temples, altering religious patterns even if identities remain unchanged.
