Monday, September 1, 2008 Fresh Violence: Atleast 4 More Churches Burnt At Least Four More Churches Burnt as Violence Continues to Spread in Orissa Christians gather inside a shelter at Raikia village in Orissa August 31, 2008. Situation Under Whose Control? Despite all "situation under control" assurances, violence continues to spread in Orissa. Reuters reports: Hindu mobs have burnt at least four more churches in Orissa, officials said on Monday, as religious violence appeared to spread. Thousands of people, mostly Christians, have taken shelter in makeshift camps, where Hindu mobs went on the rampage last week after a Hindu leader was killed. Last week officials said the violence appeared to be abating after Hindu and 2 Christian leaders called for calm, but over the weekend it spread to new parts of the state. Mobs set fire to four churches in the districts of Koraput and Rayagada, Orissa's Director General of Police, Gopal Chandra Nanda, told Reuters. Two churches and several houses were also burnt in the Kandhamal district, the epicentre of the tension, despite a curfew imposed in most of its towns, one of the state's leading newspapers, The Samaja, reported on Monday.

Department of History, Utkal University, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India. ABSTRACT : The peasants of Odisha came within the ambit of colonial capitalistic economic system after British conquered Odisha in 1803.Up to the end of the Civil Dis-obedience movement, the peasants in Odisha yet remained backward, retrogressive, unorganised and feudal in nature . Out of different circumstances socialism started to germinate in and later on dominated the post-Civil Disobedience movement phase Odisha.The newly indoctrinated socialist leaders took up peasants‟ cause and organised them against colonial hegemonic rule in different issues by organising a special peasants‟ organization in pan-Odishan basis. So, this article tries to locate the efforts of the socialist leaders vis-a-vis the peasants through Utkal Provincial Krushak Sangha. It also endeavours to assess the overall activities of that organisation, its tactics in mobilizing peasants in colonial Odisha from 1935 to 1938.Besides, this article also tries to present how the Utkal Provincial Krushaka Sangha was formed and how it worked as a platform for the peasants of odisha in co-ordinating, mobilising, educating and organising the agrarian community in 1930s and 1940s.. KEYWORDS : Agrarian, Krushaka , Movement, Rebellion , Sangha, , Socialist ,Utkal I. INTRODUCTION Peasants (English term for the Odia word Krushak), being a segment in the complex capitalistic farming system, are destined to fulfill its legitimate rights, according to Karl Marx, through prolonged ‗class struggle‘.
