Title A name given to the resource INTERFACING PRIMAL RELIGION OF THE HAMAI (ZELIANGRONG), CHRISTIANITY, HERAKA, AND TINGKAO RAGWANG CHAPRIAK Description An account of the resource This chapter explores the intertwinement between four religious traditions, namely (1) Characheng (primal religion of the Hamai) and its offshoots, (2) Heraka, (3) Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak (TRC), and (4) Christianity in contemporary Hamai (Zeliangrong) communities. The influence of the primal Hamai religion on Christianity is unquestionable, and at the same time, these two traditions hold sway over Heraka and TRC in varying degrees. The impacts of the interaction are at the levels of consciousness, belief systems, practices, and values. The chapter brings out the asymmetric encounter between reformed religious traditions (Heraka) of the Hamai and the proselytisation of Christianity in the Hamai communities that had led to the extinction of the primal religion of the former. Remarkably, Heraka and TRC are counter-proselytising movements against Christianity based on the primal belief system and synthesis of Christian and Hindu belief systems. For this purpose, the research employs comparative and dialogical approaches to explore and analyse the interconnection among the above religions. It argues that the current forms of Christianity, Heraka, and TRC in Hamai tribes are unique in themselves, and at the same time, they are also cyclically inspired by one another in the process of their encounters. 2025 selection and editorial matter, Maguni Charan Behera; individual chapters, the contributors.
