Descrizione

About The Book: This book explores the Khonds of Ganjam and Cuttack, delving into Orissa's history since the Kesari dynasty's rise in 473 A.D. Orissa, under Gajapati Sovereigns, spanned from the Ganges to Godavari, divided by the Eastern Ghats. The Maritime Division featured fertile lands and Zemindaries, the Subalpine region covered hills and valleys, while the Alpine Region housed races like the Khonds. Zemindaries, existing for twelve centuries, were acquired through conquest, not sovereign patronage. Despite theoretical allegiance, Zemindars, titled Rajahs, wielded near-independent sovereignty. The essay explores Khond social life in domains like Boad and Goomsur, offering glimpses into superstitions and geographical features.
