BHOPAL, INDIA, JANUARY 6, 2002: The tribal belt of Jhabua and Dhar districts in Madhya Pradesh near here has become a major headache for Digvijay Singh’s government as the RSS plans to build devalayas (Hindu places of worship) in 350,000 tribal homes in these two districts. The RSS chief of Indore region, Anila Daga, claims that such devalayas have already been set up in 60 per cent of the homes. “Our activists have stepped up their propaganda war to expose the real nature of Christian missionaries,” he asserts. The RSS has been circulating pamphlets explaining how “foreign missionaries coming from thousands of miles away are converting people through fraud”. It has also started a quiz program for school children. The purpose, according to Daga, is to “test their awareness about the threats to Hindu society”.
