It’s self loathing, intellectually substandard, western dick riding, cringe inducing, poorly written and poorly analysed garbage concocted by a Nirad C. Chaudhuri from Walmart.

That’s all.

Any thoughts here on Bhil Pradesh? And the separate religion?

Any thoughts here on Bhil Pradesh? And the separate religion?

at first glance, seems a non-starter: all states were created based on language, the newer states of jk, cg, uk were created from 1 big state, this would necessitate taking districts from 4 states with different languages





there is no established political party fighting for such a statehood across state lines, if there is demand from the ground, then they can field their candidates and gauge interest accordingly, iirc, many seats in this belt are designated as st reserved

dont know about a separate religion, all the regions outlined above are the run-off-the-mill indian cities / towns, nothing out of the ordinary, though iirc the conversion rates are high atleast in the tribal areas of this belt

The Sarna religion:

well the religion above is for the peoples inhabiting chhota nagpur mainly in jharkhand, bihar, by some stretch chhatisgarh

bhils and bhilais are in the west chiefly between the forested regions in the border of mp, gujarat, along the banks of the narmada, do not think the two are related

the nagpuriya, as the tribes are called collectively in the local language, have already agitated for and obtained their own state, there is no such movement for the bhils

incidentally, the city i grew up in would also come under the new proposed state as shown above, have never heard any lingering sentiments for statehood
