Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh Pakhwada (November 1-15, 2025), a vibrant tribute to the valor, vision, and contributions of Janjati heroes, began with great excitement across the nation. The fortnight-long festival is part of the year-long Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh commemorating the 150th birth anniversary of Bhagwan Birsa Munda, one of Bharat’s most celebrated Janjati freedom warriors and an enduring symbol of resistance to colonial oppression. Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared Janjatiya Gaurav Varsh to honor the sacrifices, culture, and legacy of Bharat’s Hindu Janjati groups, as well as to bring their stories of courage and nation-building to the forefront of public consciousness. Under his visionary leadership, the Government of Bharat established Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas on November 15th each year, guaranteeing that the memory of Bhagwan Birsa Munda and other Janjati freedom fighters lives on to inspire future generations. From the Himalayas to the coastal plains, states and union territories have started a range of cultural, educational, and community-oriented programs to reflect a common sense of pride and remembering in the run-up to Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas on November 15, 2025.
In what manner are our cherished Hindu Janjati families subjected to coercive and deceptive conversion practices?
Evangelical missionaries funded by American fundamentalists are exploiting vulnerable Hindu ‘Janjati’ in Bharat, posing a threat to the nation. Hindu Tribes dwelling deep in the jungles, such as the NE, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and many other states, had little engagement with the outside world; yet, where they lived in close proximity, their simplicity was exploited by the outside western world. Economic exploitation was common. This provided a wonderful opportunity for many Church clergies to exploit people emotionally by addressing their very small economic needs through gifts from outside for a temporary period. This is one area where we Bharatiyas must work hard to right the wrongs and prevent Church clergy from converting common people by offering doles.
The Christian conversion machinery operates like a well-organised company. They act as earthly campaigners for Jesus. They frequently target socially/economically deprived Hindu groups for economic and selfish gain. Now, we are experiencing that neo-converts are not receiving much social elevation, because, while missionary faiths condemn Hindu Dharma for its caste system, the class divide persists in Christianity as well. Also, evangelists want to spread the myth that Christianity is the cure-all for all the maladies of the impoverished and oppressed, but this notion has proven absolutely false in Africa and in many parts of Bharat. The church regards Hindus as primitive idol worshippers, not far from human sacrifice and cannibalism, who require the light of their Lord. High-ranking many church officials who are leftist darlings have been known to say things like, “Hindus deserved the tsunami as a result of their sins.” They, with the support of the left forces, like to exaggerate any incidence involving the oppression of Christians in Bharat; they have always attempted to spread incorrect beliefs about Hindu Dharma by magnifying every minor “wrong” in the faith. Currently, they are working hard to prove that Jesus did yoga while also attempting to demolish its Bharatiya roots. They promote any hypothesis that divides Hindus, such as the Aryan invasion theory. As a result, it is a system that employs every deceptive tactic possible to convert individuals. Many Christian missionaries specialises in eliminating historic ethnic customs around the world in order to create a monoculture based only on lies, hatred of indigenous traditions, and dogma.
Helping the oppressed is not wrong, but exploiting them – and converting them to your religion in the process – is definitely wrong. They have little understanding of religion, but because you have helped them, they feel obligated to believe everything you say. This is an extremely cunning practice. They promise rapid cure from all maladies and troubles through incorrect emotional practices, whereas Sanatana Dharma emphasises experiencing ‘karma’. Obviously, a weak mind that is ill-informed would choose a solution that would immediately rid them of their issues. What people fail to realise is that it is not a miracle but a trap to destroy identity of self respect and cultural values for a temporary gain, actually they must enjoy the results of their own actions regardless of where they are! Many people fail to see this and become easy targets for conversion. Sanatana dharma has existed since time immemorial. There are too many sects of the same old tree, which is likely to confuse the humble populace. It is required to approach a skilled scholar in order to understand the complexities of sanatana dharma. However, many people continue to be unable to access this revered information.
The reason for this inaccessibility could be either the incorrect impositions of the caste system or the receivers’ own false conceptions. In any scenario, the loss is to Sanatana Dharma. Other religions use this as a major flaw in their arguments to persuade people to abandon Sanatana Dharma! Previously, we had a gurukula-style approach to educating everyone. However, that structure was destroyed by Britishers, and the importance of Bharatiya education was minimised. Bharatiyas were led to believe that Western schooling was superior to our own system! Because of a lack of information, the majority of us were easily susceptible to conversion. Some people’s atheism and rejection of the Vedas, the foundation of sanatana dharma, result in a lack of correct knowledge among future generations in their houses. Such folks are more susceptible to conversions.
Many Western Christian evangelists are well-known for damaging ecosystems wherever they go. These evangelists, in particular, introduced a culture of absurdity, with all of the problems that existed in the ‘civilised world’ on purpose, such as environmental contamination and the deception of innocent Janjatis with technological and financial advances. Many Western “Evangelists” Christians argue that if you do not accept their God, you are a barbarian. Western industries seek control over natural resources and minerals, including plutonium, uranium, gold, silver, diamonds, bauxite, mica, silica, coal, oil, red wood, sandal wood under the guise of modernising or mainstreaming the tribes.
Native Janjati people were displaced, politically labeled as terrorists or anti-social groups, and killed in many states. Regrettably, organisations with communist and Marxist ideologies that have sisable political parties were heavily funded to influence these defenseless native Janjati people, label them, and brutally eradicate them. Abruptly, missionaries show up in Janjati communities, disparaging their traditions and threatening to condemn them to hell if they do not convert to Christianity. By taking use of their natural resources for Western nations, they rendered Africa, Latin America, and many other impoverished regions of the world even poorer.
“When the missionaries arrived, the Africans had the land, while the missionaries had the Bible. They taught us to pray with our eyes closed. When we opened them, they had the land, while we had the Bible. – Jomo Kenyatta With a lot of falsehoods, propaganda, money, and muscular force, these missionaries succeeded in generating problems for not only Janjatis, but also unrest in these Janjati areas, and no one became affluent because they left for new locations once their conversion statistics were met.
Finally, tribes that convert to any religion are still eligible for reservations in education, employment, and promotions. Withdraw this benefit, and they will return lock, stock, and barrel to their Janjati Hindu gods, whom they continue to obey and pray to despite being converted.
