  • Economic and Political Life of Lodha People of the Mayurbhanj District of Odisha in East India: a Psychosocial Analysis Dr
    PSYCHOLOGY AND EDUCATION (2021) 58(3): 1015-1023 ISSN: 00333077 Economic and Political Life of Lodha People of the Mayurbhanj District of Odisha in East India: A Psychosocial Analysis Dr. Ratnakar Mohapatra1 Assistant Professor, Department of History, KISS, Deemed to be University, Bhubaneswar, PIN-751024, Odisha, India Emil: [email protected] Mobile No.+91 9938197334 ABSTRACT The economic system and political life of the Lodhas of Mayurbhanj are the important aspects of the tribal history of Odisha in Eastern India. The Lodha tribe of Mayurbhanj is recognized as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups of the state of Odisha. Lodhas are economically backward and most of them are at the pre-agricultural stage of the economy. The Lodhas are the low level of technology associated with pre- agricultural stage (hunting food gathering and shifting cultivation) of economy. The economic life of Lodha are linked with their forest economy, agricultural cycle and other sources as labourers in various developmental works / schemes of the Government of India. The income of Lodhas is mostly spent in the purchase of daily food items, dress, ornaments and house maintenances. Some of their expenditure is spent for the purchase of rice beer (handia). They had been doing various kinds of agricultural activities, only in transplantation of rice seedlings and in harvesting. Due to improvement of the communication facilities, many changes seem to have been taken place in the economic and political life of the Lodhas of Mayurbhanj. The Lodha villages are strongly organized on the basis of tradition. The traditional administrative system of the Lodha villages of Mayurbhanj district is an interesting study for the scholars of tribal history.

  • Chapter 7* Bhosles of Nagpur Origin and Rise
    CHAPTER 7* BHOSLES OF NAGPUR ORIGIN AND RISE. THE BHOSLE FAMILY IS COUNTED AMONG THE ROYAL OR KSATRIYA CLANS of the Marathas. The Bhosle house to which Chatrapati Sivaji, the founder of Maratha Kingdom belonged, hailed from Verul near Daulatabad. The Bhosles of Nagpur are known as Hinganikar as one of their ancestors who was probably a contemporary of Maloji, the grandfather of Chatrapati Sivaji, rehabilitated the village Beradi near Hingani in the present district of Poona. The two brothers Mudhoji and Rupaji of Hingani-Beradi were contemporaries of Sahaji Bhosle, the father of Sivaji. Like Chatrapati Bhosle house, the Nagpur Bhosle family too, considers that it descended from the Sisodia Rajputs of Udaipur. It is quite possible that some Ksatriya clans of the Rajputs came down, to the Maratha country from the north during the long ascendancy of the Muslims. Nevertheless, it is a historical fact that there were Ksatriya families in the Maratha country like the Rastrakutas, the Calukyas and the Yadavas, who had no relationship with the Rajputs of the north. The family tree in the bakhar of the Bhosles of Nagpur denotes ancestors who were common to this house and also to the Bhosle house of the Chatrapatis. The Bhosles of Nagpur and the Chatrapati’s house belonged to the same Ksatriya clan. However, there is no independent historical evidence to establish common ancestry between the two families in the few generations preceding Chatrapati Sivaji. The account in the bakhar of the Bhosles of Nagpur, therefore, has to be taken with a grain of salt. In the biography of Chatrapati Sambhaji by Malhar Ramrav Citnis it is stated that after the death of Sivaji his obsequies were performed by Sabaji Bhosle, as Sambhaji, the eldest son, was in confinement on the fort of Panhala.
