None of this is important. The only important question to be answered
by the state is: Why can't the Gond ignore Brahmins the way Brahmins
ignore the Gonds (if they do, and if they ALL do that - it is yet to be
established as true)?
Each human must be able to survive independently of others and
independently of the wishes of others - that is the only measure of a
free state. Of course, that means employment opportunities should be
monitored for the presence (or absence) of communal preferences and
employers punished for doing so.
You can't force anyone to like someone else. But you can make it so
that this like/dislike is irrelevant in the material aspects of every
human being's life. Harassment, when it interferes with life, is also
criminal here.

of godmen/godwome, godcows and other god-animals |

To fill religion, options are hindu, Muslim, Jew, Christian, Zorastian,
Jain etc. So Dalits are foced to fill their religion as hindu. Officers
who collect census info are hindu and they fill columns as they like. |

Quite possible, but what do you understand by the following? If there
was a column for listing their belief as "Santal", why did so few
Santals list "Santal" as their religious belief? If there was no column
for listing their belief as "Santal", how did 23,645 Santals list
"Santal" as their religious belief?
One of the most studied tribal religions is that of the Santal of
Orissa, Bihar, and West Bengal, one of the largest tribes in India,
having a population estimated at 4.2 million. According to the 1991
census, however, only 23,645 people listed Santal as their religious
belief.
