These are parts of India that have seen violence for centuries.
Forest-villages with aboriginal tribals, swinging allegiances based on which conversion group comes with the largest bounty. Barely Hindu, barely Christian.
This has been going on since the British were there, during WW2. The "Hindu" groups are the RSS factions, and the "Christian" groups include the NLFT, among others. Both mindlessly cruel and brutal.
NLFT = National Front of Tripura. That’s far away from ORissa. The violence in Orissa is pretty much one sided on the part of the RSS
