During the 'Janjati Sanskritik Samagam' in New Delhi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah commemorated the 150th birth anniversary of tribal leader Birsa Munda. He praised Munda's Ulgulan movement, which he claimed shook the foundations of British rule in India by uniting tribal communities across the country. Shah noted that despite the lack of communication facilities during Munda's time, he successfully conveyed a message of faith and identity to tribal populations from Jharkhand to Gujarat. Shah described the tribal lifestyle as the 'greatest sustainable model', emphasizing the importance of forests, hills, and water bodies to their cultural identity and livelihood. He also highlighted the principle of 'unity in diversity' upheld by tribal communities without the need for formal rules. Furthermore, Shah reiterated the constitutional right to practice one's faith freely, condemning any attempts at religious conversion through coercion or greed, and called for a commitment to preserving tribal beliefs.
