thebalanced.newsAmit Shah to Attend Large Tribal Gathering in Delhi on Scheduled Tribe Delisting Demand
A large tribal gathering is scheduled at Delhi's Red Fort on May 24, organized by the RSS-affiliated Janjati Suraksha Manch (JSM) to mark the 150th birth anniversary of tribal leader Birsa Munda. Over 1.5 lakh participants from more than 500 tribal communities are expected to attend, focusing on the demand for a 'Delisting Bill' to exclude converted tribals from Scheduled Tribe status. Supporters view it as a cultural assertion and protection of tribal identity, while critics, including Jharkhand Congress leaders, accuse it of politicizing tribal issues and undermining tribal rights.
