Talom Rukbo
Indian religious leader
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Talom Rukbo (1937–2001)[1] was the father of Donyi-Polo religion, a revivalist religious movement based in Arunachal Pradesh which attempts to reconstruct Tani (Adi) animist spirituality.
He has criticized Christian missionaries for fraudulent conversion practices in the Northeast of India.[2]
Because of his contribution to the Adivasi way of life, Rukbo has been named one of the inspirations for the Vanavasi Kalyan Ashram project run by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.[3]
