### Dr. Mannalal Rawat Warns Against Misleading Youth at Mangarh Dham

**Udaipur,(Dr.Munesh Arora)  Lok Sabha MP Dr. Mannalal Rawat has raised concerns over a group demanding a separate state and their visit to Mangarh Dham, claiming they are influenced by British and Church ideologies. According to Dr. Rawat, these individuals have been misleading the youth in the region, encouraging them to become stone-pelters and creating a deceptive atmosphere at Mangarh. He emphasized that those visiting Mangarh belong to a specific organization and do not represent the entire tribal community.

Addressing a press conference at the District Council Hall on Thursday, Dr. Rawat stated that these individuals are spreading extremism and casteism for political purposes. They are falsely claiming that tribals are not Hindus, aiming to disrupt social harmony. He urged the community to be vigilant against such divisive elements.

Dr. Rawat highlighted that Mangarh Dham is a sacred site dedicated to Adidev Mahadev and Adishakti, where the tribal community traditionally gathers on full moon days to perform rituals under their guru's guidance. In 1913, the British brutally massacred many from the tribal community at this very site. Dr. Rawat argued that those now demanding a separate state are perpetuating the politics of those responsible for the massacre.

**Government's Commitment to Tribal Welfare**

Dr. Rawat asserted that both the central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the state government under Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma have launched beneficial schemes for the local tribal community and southern Rajasthan. He noted that the BJP government established a separate Ministry of Tribal Welfare and structured the Tribal Commission. Despite these efforts, certain elements are spreading ideological pollution due to their frustration.

**The Need for De-Listing**

Dr. Rawat pointed out that the tribal community has historically been exploited under the influence of missionaries. He explained that the 1950 Constitution clearly defined scheduled castes and tribes as those following Hindu traditions. However, under the pressure and inducements from Christian missionaries, many tribals converted to Christianity or Islam but still unfairly benefit from tribal reservations. Dr. Rawat argued that this is unconstitutional, undemocratic, inhumane, and unethical, as it deprives the genuine tribal population of their rights.

To address this, a nationwide movement called 'De-Listing' has been initiated across 22 states to identify and exclude such ineligible individuals from availing of tribal reservations. Dr. Rawat accused those opposing this movement of being influenced by Church ideologies and attempting to disrupt social unity and harmony through local organizations.

**Call to Preserve National and Cultural Integrity**

Dr. Rawat concluded by urging vigilance against these elements to preserve national interest and Sanatan culture. He stressed the importance of maintaining social unity and warned against those attempting to create divisions under the guise of demanding a separate state.
