Tribal Shifts and Tensions Heat Up Jharkhand Ahead of Polls

As the state of Jharkhand inches closer to the upcoming polls, tensions are high, and the stakes even higher. In the state’s tribal heartland, particularly in districts like Sahibganj, Dumka, and Pakur, conversations are increasingly centered on issues of illegal immigration, cultural clashes, and what some are calling a demographic shift. This shift has sparked a fresh wave of concerns among Jharkhand’s tribal and Hindu communities, with many pointing to changing patterns in their communities that feel unfamiliar and unsettling.
