Himmatnagar, 2 December 2011

25 tribal of north Gujarat’s Sabarkantha district’s Chhitadara village of Meghraj taluka have returned back to their original Hindu faith after spending 40 year in Christianity.

The tribal were converted into Christianity four decades back by evangelists. Last week in a public function, they returned to their original faith in presence of more than 200 locals including the villagers, teachers, Vishwa Hindu Parishad workers and their relatives.

Manilal Valjibhai Damor, Kankuben, Sanjaykumar, Sushilaben, Sharmishthaben, Menkaben, Namrataben and Manilal were among those returned to Hindu faith amid chanting of mantras.

All those who returned to India’s traditional path of belief broke their utensils and removed all water from their houses before entering again with a new faith.

Sweets were distributed in the village on this occasion.
