Odisha minister, family ostracised over marriage
Odisha's Tribal Welfare Minister Sudam Marndi and his family were ostracised by their Santhali tribe on Saturday, after his daughter married a Biju Janata Dal leader from another (Diku) tribe. Marndi, a former Jharkhand Mukti Morcha MP, who joined the BJD in 2014, was accused by his tribesmen of being against the Dikus earlier.
