Two hundred adivasi leaders assembled in Delhi on Wednesday to demand recognition of their religion in the national census. Tribals worship nature but are often categorized as Hindus or slotted under other religions by census enumerators. With a population of over 8 crores, adivasi groups say it's time for the government to recognize "adhi dharma" as a separate religion.
