This my friend is the problem you are drawing conjecture from listening from one side.
He is a tribal Hindu from NE other than the Twitter clout chasing his opinions might just be as valid as yours.
Firstly, I don't like talking about religion
So even when it plays an important factor you won't be talking about it.
I don't about others for me it is very personal and I tried to keep to myself,
It is personal until it is not when the second person starts asserting his religion affecting our daily lives. If the topic has religious weightage than how do u suggest we don't talk about it.
If you go to the Hills there will lots of BJP members eating Beef, Christian by religion BJP by political affliations.
BJP isn't a Hendu Supremacy party like many people belive it to be it just has many Hindu lobbyists. So BJP minister eating beef isn't a suprise BJP will sell their mothers if it needs to, political parties are like that.
Chruch play a huge part in this part of the world and this is very different from rest of india, cause conversion is more or less nil here and Christian religion is very old here.
So U do admit that religion plays an important part in daily lives of the people.
Christianity maybe old but it is inorganic it was not native and it recieves partonage from outside.
If you say like that, then Hindu also has been embraced by locals who have their traditional believe,
Except this is no argument, Hinud AKA Sanatan dharma encompass wide range of religion we don't know how old it is for all we know it was always here.
religion is the not the main problem it is the ethicity which is the problem
50% religious and 50% Ethnic it seems.
You seem to be ingnoring the elephant in the room, and please don't mind me I have tried to make a sound argument even though religious debates are hardly civil.
