www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 2 April 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 THE UNSUNG HEROES OF UNDIVIDED SAMBALPUR DISTRICT Dr Raghumani Naik, Asst. Professor HOD, Dept of History, NSCB (Govt. Lead) College, Sambalpur, Odisha(India) ___________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: Sambalpur, the hub of western Orissa has permanently registered her name in the glorious chapter of Indian history especially freedom movement of India. During the freedom struggle of Orissa as a whole and undivided Sambalpur district in particular many freedom fighters had participated in the national movements and played a vital role but remained unrecognized and unknown. The freedom movement in Sambalpur passed through three well marked phases. The first phase (1803 -1885) witnessed the foundation of British rule in Orissa and armed resistance of the people against the imposition of new system of Government highly prejudicial to their interest. The second phase (1885-1920) saw the birth of political institutions in the wake of the formation of the Indian National Congress and the radical growth of political awareness among the people. The third phase (1920-1947) is related predominantly to the congress. However, in spite of their dedication and sacrifice in these above movements, they could not occupy a permanent place in the Pages of Sambalpur history and remained unsung and neglected. They should be highlighted and brought to lime light. So, humble attempts have been made to enlighten some of the obscure freedom fighters of Sambalpur in this article. Keywords: Undivided Sambalpur, British, Freedom movement, unsung heroes, neglected. 1. Introduction: The Undivided Sambalpur District, a hub of British imperialism in Orissa had been named after the headquarters town, Sambalpur. -

PREFACE Bargarh, previously a Sub-Division of undivided Sambalpur District was conferred the status of a district on 1st April 1993 to usher in better and faster service delivery, to bridge the gap between the Government and the governed and to ensure governance at the doorstep. The district owes its name to “Vagharkotta” as revealed by the Rastrakuta inscription of 12th Century AD. This province acquired its present name "Bargarh “during the reign of Balaram Dev, the King of Chauhan dynasty of Sambalpur. Historically, this district as contributed its mite in India’s freedom struggle. Ghess Zamindar Madho Singh, his four sons Hatte Singh, Kunjel Singh, Bairi Singh, Airi Singh and his son-in-law Narayana Singh have become legends of the district due to their extraordinary valour shown during the first war of independence. Similarly, village Panimora has received a special recognition in the history of freedom struggle due to the participation of 42 young men in the Satyagraha Movement of Gandhiji out of which 32 persons were incarcerated by the Britishers. An enthusiastic young girl Parbati Giri of village Samaleipadar showed her bravery inthe freedom struggle, who in the post- independence time is credited with the opening of “Kasturaba Gandhi Matruniketan”, the first ever orphanage of the district at Paikmal. Further, Debrigarh, a peak in the Barapahad hills of Ambabhona block, was used as a rebel stronghold by Lakhanpur Jamidar Balabhadra Deo and the noted freedom fighter Veer Surendra Sai stands as a mute spectator to the first revolt against the Britishin this area. In the post-independence period, Bargarh became the laboratory for different experimentations under the Cooperative Movement in Odisha. -
“ I Will Give You a Talisman. Whenever You Are in Doubt, Or When the Self Becomes Too Much with You, Apply the Following Test
CHAPTER-XI EVOLUTION OF LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL “ I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it? Will it restore him [her] to a control over his [her] own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to Swaraj [freedom] for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and yourself melt away." One of the last notes left behind by Gandhi in 1948, expressing his deepest social thought. The aforesaid principle of the Father of the Nation popularly known as Gandhi‟s Talisman finds translated in the 73rd Amendment of the Constitution of India which has immensely and logically empowered the common man at the grass root level and the succeeding stages in the hierarchy of development instilling the self-confidence and the modalities by which this vision can be materialized. Further, Gandhiji was of the opinion that the Self-Government means continuous effort to be independent of Government control, whether it is Foreign Government or whether it is National Swaraj Government, will be a sorry affair if people look up to it for the regulation of every detail of life. The Father of the Nation has also asserted that Self-Government depends upon our internal strength, upon our ability to fight against the heaviest odds. -

Odisha District Gazetteers Bolangir
ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS BOLANGIR GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA ODISHA DISTRICT GAZETTEERS BOLANGIR DR. TARADATT, IAS CHIEF EDITOR, GAZETTEERS & DIRECTOR GENERAL, TRAINING COORDINATION GOPABANDHU ACADEMY OF ADMINISTRATION [GAZETTEERS UNIT] GENERAL ADMINISTRATION DEPARTMENT GOVERNMENT OF ODISHA iii iv PREFACE The Gazetteer is an authoritative document that describes a District in all its hues–the economy, society, political and administrative setup, its history, geography, climate and natural phenomena, biodiversity and natural resource endowments. It highlights key developments over time in all such facets, whilst serving as a placeholder for the timelessness of its unique culture and ethos. It permits viewing a District beyond the prismatic image of a geographical or administrative unit, since the Gazetteer holistically captures its socio-cultural diversity, traditions, and practices, the creative contributions and industriousness of its people and luminaries, and builds on the economic, commercial and social interplay with the rest of the State and the country at large. The document which is a centrepiece of the District, is developed and brought out by the State administration with the cooperation and contributions of all concerned. Its purpose is to generate awareness, public consciousness, spirit of cooperation, pride in contribution to the development of a District, and to serve multifarious interests and address concerns of the people of a District and others in any way concerned. Historically, the “Imperial Gazetteers” were prepared by Colonial administrators for the six Districts of the then Orissa, namely, Angul, Balasore, Cuttack, Koraput, Puri, and Sambalpur. After Independence, the Scheme for compilation of District Gazetteers devolved from the Central Sector to the State Sector in 1957. -
Freedom Movement in Khurda
Orissa Review August - 2007 Freedom Movement in Khurda Dr. Atul Chandra Pradhan The historians have drawn a line of demarcation movement. A number of questions may be raised between the nationalist movement organized by here, while we try to understand the nature of the English - educated middle class which began nineteenth century insurrections - What is freedom with the foundation of Indian National Congress movement ? When did it begin? Whether the so- in 1885 and the popular insurrections of the called resistance movements were anti-colonial nineteenth century which were sometimes in nature ? Was the Congress movement a organized by the traditional elites and sometimes freedom movement from the beginning ? While by peasants and tribals themselves. In colonial characterizing the Revolt of 1857 as "a primary discourse the mobilizations of the latter type are resistance movement", Eric Stokes, the British generally treated as disturbances or resistance historian recognizes its "innate antagonism to alien movements of certain interest groups. For overlords" and lack of "ideological underpinning". example, the Revolt of 1857 was characterized Ranjit Guha, the subaltern historian considers in colonial parlance as a purely selfish sepoy insurgency as the necessary anti-thesis of mutiny and the Khurda Rebellion of 1817 as a colonialism. If colonial rule was exploitative and rebellion of dispossessed Paikas or militia men of discriminatory in nature, anti-colonialism was the deposed Raja of Khurda. Among the Indian bound to be co-eval with colonial rule, and anti- historians sometimes we find a controversy colonial or national movement was a cumulative regarding the characterization of the nineteenth process.
