So here we have a full cycle. Hindu to neo-convert Christian back to 
neo-convert Hindu. Don’t we see a similar pattern elsewhere? A party juggler 
hopping from Party X to Party Y and again back to Party X.  More interesting 
is what prompted these tribals into this circus. Lack of food and shelter.  
So isn’t the message loud and clear that for the deprived lot religion is 
not the ultimate goal but just a means to reach the goal.

Just a thought. Is religious faith  just a commodity that can be purchased 
and discarded? Can a few bunch of currencies and some coins prompt a person 
to discard Krishna/Rama for Christ or Allah?
