Tribal Leaders Demand Separate Bhil Pradesh State
Imagine a group of people who want their own special state called Bhil Pradesh.
They met at a historic place called Mangarh Dham to talk about it.
They've been asking for this for a long time.
Leaders from different areas are supporting the idea, and even shared a map of where this new state could be.
But, some other important people don't agree.
They think it could cause problems and don't want to break up the existing states.
Tribal leaders convened at Mangarh Dham to demand the formation of Bhil Pradesh.
The demand for a separate tribal state is decades old, according to community leaders.
The congregation was organized by 'Aadivasi Parivar' and 'Bhil Pradesh Mukti Morcha'.
Raj Kumar Roat, MP from Banswara, supports the demand and posted a map outlining the proposed state.
BJP leaders, including the state president, oppose the demand, citing concerns about state pride and social harmony.
