Christianity among the Scheduled Tribes of the Northeast ...

Centre for Policy Studies # 1 Christianity among the Scheduled Tribes of the Northeast : assam , tripura and sikkim Christianity in the Northeast has spread mainly through the conversion of the Scheduled Tribes (STs) of the region. There are numerous Tribes that live here; specific Tribes often dominate a specific district or even a sub-district. It is fascinating and instructive to look into how the religious demography of different Tribes has changed over time; how and when they have moved away from their native religions which in their doctrine and practice fall within the Hindu fold to Christianity . In this and the following notes, we discuss the spread of Christianity among the specific individual Tribes of the Northeast . We begin with assam , where the situation is very different from other States of the region. The spread of Christianity in assam has been limited and, more surprisingly, less than 20 percent of the Christians in the State are from the Scheduled Tribes .
