Janjati Suraksha Manch Demands Delisting of Converted Adivasis from STs

The Janjati Suraksha Manch (JSM) is demanding the removal of Adivasis who converted to Christianity or Islam from the Scheduled Tribes (ST) list. They argue for extending the 1950 Presidential Order logic, which applies to Scheduled Castes, to STs. Opponents cite a 1963 Patna High Court ruling stating tribal identity is ethnic, not religious.
