[Assam] adivasi-santals

[mc mahant]

And Patil said it all:
"They are no more Tribes."
Indian Rupee has emasculated all TRIBEs
Only these remain marauders without regret/analysis/penitence:
Like when 2 of them types: pounced from a tree and beheaded a Tea Garden Asst. Manager.
Like Gogoi-Golaghat- garden Owner burnt alive--again nothing like regrets.
They should go only back to their Homeland.
These cannot be cured.
