Talom Rukbo
Talom Rukbo was the father of Donyi-Polo, 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.[1]
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.[2]

They declared that the converted persons must discard (1) the `animist` practices, (2) our festivals and that our Gods and Goddesses were Saitan (evil spirits? Satan). ” - ↑ RSS-backed Vanvasi NGO comes out of woods The Economic Times - September 04, 2004
