According the IUCN this species has a huge, stable population and is listed as 'of least concern'. Do you propose that people should be barred from this age old annual food source simply because as an outsider you find trapping and killing of the birds 'tragic'. Humans eat meat, it doesn't have to come from a farm, and while this trapping does not appear to be threatening the population it seems your efforts to stop it are simply detrimental to the people that rely on this source of food/income. Unless your view of conservation is to stop people from using any wild animal as a resource even if it's done sustainably, I'm pretty sure India has some bigger conservation concerns that could use your time and resources.
