Stop lying. Zoros were indeed persecuted by Christians.
Zoros in Armenia and Anatolia had their temples demolished and forced to convert under royal edicts.

Christians in Middle East never forced Zoroastrians to change religions and vice versa despite 600 years of wars. The wars were for power territory and trade. Islam came and they on top of human needs of war as said before they force their ways on everyone that’s not them
Some Malay nationalists in Malaysia insist anyone and everyone that is Austronesian is a Malay, from a Balinese to a Hawai'ian. Nevermind that Hawai'ians call foreigners like Filipinos as haoles (ones without aloha)

Jap I go vomit first.
Malays and their faux pride. Steamrolling all the Nusantara nuance and branding everyone “Malay”. Can’t blame them since it was started by the British. But they keep it going for some god-awful reason.
Christians and their endless victim porn.
They persecute polytheists so much that none survive in Europe and the Americas and then have the audacity to complain.

Christians are the most persecuted religious group.
That’s it. That’s the tweet.
Oshun, one of the most important deities of the Yoruba pantheon.
She is the goddess of water, love, beauty and fertility.
She symbolises femininity, creation, motherhood and compassion.
If a Yoruba converts to Hinduism and starts equating Oshun with Ganga or Durga, it doesn't mean the deity is of Hindu origin even if they use a Sanskritized name.
Dewi Sri is worshipped even by animist tribals in Taiwan and the Philippines, not because of Hindu influence but that she is their indigenous deity.
When Hinduism came, she was equated with Lakshmi and given a Sanskrit name like Chams did with Po Nagar (Durga)

The goddess has various names like Nawang Wulan, which obviously isn't in Sanskrit.

Rejang is a dance form that is to show gratitude to the deities
This specific form is called Rejang Dewa, here inviting Saraswati during the Yadnya Pujawali ceremony in a temple in Denpasar
Only non-menstruating women are permitted to do this dance
During the festival of Behdienkhlam, followers of Niamtre carry the rot in a sacred pool called aitnar 30 times before immersing it
Their royalty used to be staunchly Hindu, although most are Christian now
No idea why an
Not necessarily. Indigenous deities of Northeast India and Southeast Asia were simply just equated with those of the Hindu fold.
Kamakhya was a Khasi goddess who was equated with Durga while Dewi Sri was Javanese/Sundanese/Balinese goddess who was equated with Lakshmi.

IMHO, Axomiyas in the North-East, and most Dravidian populations in the South, are much more recent adherents of the actual Hindu faith than North-Western Indic groups like the Nuristanis, Chitralis and Kalash.
Jaintias would rule parts of Sylhet which would come under Kamata kingdom as well.
The Jaintia kingdom was annexed when the Jaintias tried to sacrifice some British officials to the goddess and one managed to escape to tell the tale.
Human sacrifices were prevalent in Northeast India until the 19th century when the British banned them.
Different temples had different rules of who could be sacrificed
