What is Sarna and Why Has There Been a Demand to Make it a Religion? - The Indian Tribal
The religious faith of the indigenous or native or tribal people, mainly the Scheduled Tribes, is called Sarna. The demand for Sarna Dharma Samhita is mainly arising because the tribal communities make it clear that they are not Hindus. Also, several tribal organizations claim that more than 49.57 lakh people living in 29 states and union territories across the country have mentioned 'other' instead of mentioning any particular religion in the religion column during the 2011 census. While choosing the option, he has told his religious beliefs to Sarna. https://theindiantribal.com/2023/04/03/variety-tribal-india-all-about-separate-sarna-religious-code-as-demand-by-adivasis-gathers-momentum-across-states/

Does climbing this mountain really increase youth and age by 10 years? - The Indian Tribal
A popular belief about this mountain is that the person who climbs to the top of this mountain, his life gets extended by ten years or he can remain young for ten more years. Although, incidentally, climbing this mountain is not very difficult. People of any age can easily climb it. This is the reason why the hill, once used as a strategic outpost of Munda warriors during their rebellion against foreign invaders, landlords and moneylenders, attracts tribals. https://theindiantribal.com/2023/04/02/variety-jharkhand-india-tribals-believe-climbing-sukwan-buru-hills-makes-them-10-years-younger-and-prolongs-life-too/

Tribal game of Nagaland: Know if you climb on a smooth pole with grease
The greased pole climbing game of the northeastern state of Nagaland, which is more than 300 years old, is still very popular. Climbing straight bamboo is as easy as it sounds, but in reality it is not. And if grease is applied on it, then it becomes very difficult. Seriously, this game is more difficult than climbing a tree with branches. The Government of Nagaland is promoting the sport by organizing annual competitions in the state. https://theindiantribal.com/2023/03/28/sports-nagaland-india-tribal-games-more-than-300-year-old-greased-pole-climbing-is-still-popular-in-this-northeastern-state/
