Description
About The Book: Orissa by Sir William Wilson Hunter, published in 1872, is a comprehensive two-volume account of Orissa (now Odisha). Volume 1, titled Statistics, provides a detailed demographic, geographic, and economic analysis of the region. It covers aspects such as the physical geography, population, health conditions, trade, and agriculture, offering a statistical foundation for understanding Orissa's social and economic landscape. Volume 2, titled History, Religion, and Antiquities, delves into Orissa's historical context, religious practices, and ancient monuments, including a focus on Hindu temples and the Jagannath cult. Hunter’s work remains a critical resource on colonial Orissa’s socio-cultural and economic dimensions.
