ImageTribals in the forested interiors of India today face a grave, new threat. Already dispossessed of land and forest, grappling with debt, hunger, exploitation and bondage, the tribals now face incursions of radical Hindutva, systematically propagated by front organisations of the Sangh Parivar, threatening to divide and communalise tribal communities and further distance them from justice.

For the majority of tribals, the Muslim is invisible. The enemy invented for them instead by the Sangh Parivar is Christianity, demonised as a dangerous foreign conspiracy to destabilise India, propagated by inducement and fraud by missionaries, pastors and nuns. Healthcare and education provided by them are dismissed as bribes for conversion.

Independent investigations established that these attacks were a result of hatred and suspicion systematically introduced by activists of the Sangh Parivar organisations like Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram and Hindu Jagran Manch.

With the Sangh Parivar planning a Shabri Kumbh Mela in Dangs in February 2006, there are fears of a repeat. There have been several such gatherings organised by Hindutva activists in the region in recent years, including a Vishal Hindu Mahasangam in Jhabua in Madha Pradesh in 2002 and another Kumbh in Bhilwada in Rajasthan in 2004.
