सरना धर्म को मान्यता देने की मांग, झारखंड में बंद, जगह-जगह रोकी ट्रेनें

On Saturday, rail services and vehicular movement in Jharkhand were disrupted due to a 'symbolic Bharat Bandh' called by a tribal organization demanding recognition of the Sarna religion. The disruption mainly affected the Chakradharpur and Adra divisions of the South Eastern Railway (SER). Supporters of the 'Adivasi Sengel Abhiyan' (ASA) blocked...

the Kantadi-Tatanagar rail track in the Adra division, halting several trains, including the Ranchi-Howrah Vande Bharat Express, for over an hour at Purulia station. The train was later rerouted via Purulia-Kotshila-Muri-Chandil-Tatanagar. The Hatia-Kharagpur Express was canceled, while the Ranchi-Howrah Express and the Hatia-Tatanagar Express were rerouted through Muri-Chandil-Tatanagar. Around 100 protesters sat on the tracks near Bahaldar Road station between Adityapur-Gamharia and Maluka-Dangoaposi stations in the Chakradharpur division. The movement was called off at 12:20 PM, restoring rail services. The protesters also blocked roads at various locations in Karndi, Tata-Hata route, Rola Chowk, Birsa Chowk, Saraikela, and Chaibasa-Ranchi route. The ASA president, Sal Khan Murmu, claimed that the bandh received support not only in Jharkhand but also in other parts of eastern India, including West Bengal and Odisha. Murmu stated that the tribal community had no other option but to call for a bandh as their demands were ignored repeatedly. He argued that the Sarna religion, a faith based on nature worship, represents the identity of 150 million tribals in India. He further claimed that the 2011 Census listed nearly 5 million tribals as following the Sarna faith, while Jainism had only 4.4 million followers. Despite this, Jainism was recognized as a separate religion, while Sarna religion remained unrecognized. The Jharkhand Assembly had passed a resolution in November 2020 advocating for the recognition of Sarna as a distinct religion in the Census. Union Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda responded to the ASA's bandh call, urging them to raise their demands on appropriate platforms instead of inconveniencing people. He warned that such disruptions would only cause inconvenience to the public.

Saturday ko, Jharkhand mein, Sarna dharma ko maanayata dene ki maang ke liye ek 'pratikaatmak Bharat Bandh' ki wajah se rail services aur vehicles ki aawaajahi prabhavit hui. Is se mainly SER (South Eastern Railway) ke Chakradharpur aur Adra divisions mein disruption aaya. 'Adivasi Sengel Abhiyan' (ASA) ke supporters ne Adra...

division mein Kantadi-Tatanagar rail track ko jam kar diya, jisse kai trains, including Ranchi-Howrah Vande Bharat Express, ek ghanta se zyada time ke liye Purulia station pe ruk gayi. Baad mein, train ko Purulia-Kotshila-Muri-Chandil-Tatanagar ke raste reroute kiya gaya. Hatia-Kharagpur Express ko cancel kar diya gaya, aur Ranchi-Howrah Express aur Hatia-Tatanagar Express ko Muri-Chandil-Tatanagar route se chalaya gaya. Chakradharpur division mein, Adityapur-Gamharia aur Maluka-Dangoaposi stations ke beech Bahaldar Road station pe, almost 100 protesters patori pe baith gaye. Dopahar 12:20 pe yeh movement bandh kar diya gaya, aur rail services normal ho gayi. Protesters ne Karndi mein Tata-Hata route, Rola Chowk, Birsa Chowk, Saraikela aur Chaibasa-Ranchi route ke kai jagah pe raaste block kar diye. ASA ke president, Sal Khan Murmu ne claim kiya ki bandh ko sirf Jharkhand mein hi nahi, balki West Bengal aur Odisha jaise eastern India ke aur bhi parts mein support mila. Murmu ne kaha ki adivasiyon ke paas bandh bulaane ke alawa koi option nahi raha, kyunki unki demand ko bar bar ignore kiya ja raha tha. Unhone argue kiya ki Sarna dharma, jo ki nature worship pe based hai, India ke 15 crore tribals ki pehchaan hai. Unhone aage claim kiya ki 2011 ki census mein almost 50 lakh tribals ne apne dharam ko 'Sarna' ke roop mein list kiya tha, jabki Jainism mein yeh number 44 lakh tha. Iske bawjood, Jainism ko alag dharam ka darja diya gaya, lekin Sarna dharma ko aaj tak isse vanchit rakha gaya. Jharkhand Vidhan Sabha ne November 2020 mein, census mein Sarna ko alag dharam ke roop mein maanayata dene ki vakaalat karte hue, ek resolution pass kiya tha. Union Tribal Affairs Minister Arjun Munda ne ASA ke bandh call pe kaha ki agar is tarah ke vyavdhan jaari rahe, toh logoon ko asuvidha ka samna karna padega. Aam logon ko is tarah pareshan karne ki jagah, Sarna dharma ki maang ko uचित mंच पर uthani chahiye.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake.
