Interviews
Almond and Kerlinger have emphasized on the value of in1etviews in behavioml .
subjects like polii:icaJ science. The area should be sampleil aria then intetview .
should proceed on the basis of questionnaite.
Sarpanch Smt. Sarojini Tigga (1999-2004)
Upto the election in 2004, the Sarpanch was a Mahi1a belonging to the Congress
party. Though the Grnm Panchayat elections were not contested on party lines, the
two leading parties the BJP and the Congress supported the candidates on Wan!
wise. Though there was no party symbol and flag, the propaganda was on party
lines.
The majority membets who won in the election were suppotted by the Congress.
She described the various achievements of the Panchayat like construction of
mads, lanes, water resetvoits, tree plantation repaits of the school and so on.
Did she o~e the women folk in the village? She said she <fid orgmize them
and the majority of women cooperated with her. She agreed with us that it is
difficult to make the tribals stop drinlcing alcohol. Every Oraon family drinks, it is
a part of theit food and is not sold in shops because the people prepare theit
drinks at home with Mahua or rice fermented
The tribal women do not have pardah. They openly work with males at the work
place and go to market for shopping. Hence there is complete equality among men
and women.
In Bagicha there is no untouchability. Though there are few scheduled caste
people, but they are not regarded as untouchables. They are respected as equals.
The Mahila Sarpanch was asked to comment on the order of the State
Government that every Panch and Sarpanch must construct a septic latrine in
his/her house. The Government plan is very good but the people are used to
answer the nature call freely in the fields. The people are to be taught to use the
latrines, this will take time.
"Education and health are the two basic pillats of progress," she was asked She
agreed with such statements. She said that we in Bagicha are fortunate to have two
very good schools, the schools run by the Christian Mission and the Ramakrishna
Mission. The atmosphere surrounding the school, the building and the sitting
arrangements are so attractive that the most of the tribals want theit sons and
daughtets to be admitted in these two schools.
Similarly, the hospital run by the Block is in Bagicha and hence the people do not
required to go to towns. Moreover there are very qualified doctor in Bagicha.
171
What schemes of the Government have you implemented? She wu asked She
enumerated the various schemes that she wu able to implement in her Pmchayat
such as Jawahar Rojgar Yojana, Ind.ra Awu Yojana, Midday Mea), Bal Vsbs
Yojana, Bidwa pension, Pig schemes, Goat Schemes and so on.
Do you think that the Panchayati Raj institutions have created a great political
awakening among the tribals. of J:his village? She agreeq that the two election.s. to
the Giam Panchayat have definitely created a great iwakcring among the
Now people are greatly interested in the af&its of the village. The recuaiog
Vidhan Sabha and Lok Sabha elections have simiJarly awakened the people and
they have started taking great interest in politics.
Pc:oPk.
Shri Prabhat Kumar Sidam BJP Satpanch (2004-)
He is a graduate in Arts and also has passed LLB.. I interviewed him at his house.
His house is a R.C.C. Pacca house situated by the side of the road. He has very
high idea of making Bagicha Gram a garden city with very good roads, clean lanes
with proper drains and building a park. The roads will be p1anted with trees on
both sides. He will make the Rajpuri waterfall site a tourist spot. Cottage industries
are to be developed.
I asked him is it all right to give to the tribals cows? He said that of course it is
approved by BJP, which is our party, but I am personally not in favour of it as it
will create problems for the Oraons. They have never reared cattle and they do not
like dairy industry. The Government should rather give the tnbals three things (i)
Pigs (n) Poultry and (rii) Forest lands.
The tribals live in the forest, and they have been living there for ages in forest
products.
What about the rule that every Panch should have a septic latrine in his/her house.
He said that personally he does not favour. The tribals go in the open and in the
forests. Construction of septic latrines will create great problems; a lot of water will
be required to clean the toilets. If it is not cleaned regularly foul smell will fill the
house.
What do you say about the minimum qualification of the Panchs? Must they be
educated upto the primary stage? He fully agreed with me that the Panchs must
have at least primary education. He also said that every child of Bagicha must go to
the school.
Do you favour midday meals? He said that it is a good scheme and dropouts in
schools have been checked. Questions were asked to him about (i) Gram Suraj
and (n) Smt. Sonia Gandhi's Rojgar Guarantee Scheme. Shri Ptabhat said that they
have been recently introduced especially the Rojgar Guarantee Scheme. Hence I
will be in a position to comment after these schemes are implemented fully. But
Bagicha has no dearth of employment even after the K1wif 5e2SOil and pactically
there is no exodus of Oraon labour to other cities and St2tes fur employment. The
people are engaged in growing Kharif and Rabi crops upto the month of M2tchApril. For the Month of May, they go to work sites like road construction. building
construction and so on.
Interviews with past Panchs and present Panchs
I interviewed them in groups as there number was big nearly 40. I asked them
what are the schenies ofdevelopment launchM>by the Gram Panchayat from two
Panchayats 1999-2004 and2004- 05 ... They said that they have done various
developmental works in their Wards like construction of CC Road, dug bore well
and so on. The Panchs who are in the present Panchayat said that they are working
hard to bring development in their Wards.
The Janpad Panchayat Bagicha gave a tabulated scheme of development to me.
The Panchs said that the schemes for the old and infirm have helped the people of
Bagicha a lot. Both man and woman have benefited from the schemes.
The Panchs have helped in developing water conservation schemes and utilizing
the river water for Rabi and Kharif crops. They said that the Rojgar Guarantee
Schemes of Sonia Gandhi is very good but in Bagicha there is little problem of
unemployment.
Suraj Andolan started by the State government is a very good thing. It is check. on
the Gram Panchayat, the Block Panchayat, the District Panchayat and the District
Administration. Under the Collector the district bureaucracy is full of red tape and
corruption. They are more interested in taking bribes than in developing their time
to the development of the villages. They also go rarely to the villages.

The Bureaucracy is put to a Great Trouble
The Collector, the Deputy Collector, the Tahsilda:rs, the Naib Tahsilda:rs and the
Patwaris are now put to a great trouble and have to be prepared for e.'<plaining
their position to the State Government and even to the Centre. A lot of data is
being generated at the village level.
182
Shri Chandra the Patwari is least affected by these checks
I got most of the maps of Bagicha by the Patwari. Actually, he belongs to the plain
land where most of his Kurmi people live and are mostly fanners by profession.
I le is a very clever man. He said that you could get any work done &om him if you
talk mildly with him. But if you try to threaten him or talk roughly with him, ~en
he will n~t do your work. Many· people living in Bagicha especially in the matket
place have no good opinion of him. In every sale and purchase of land or
measuring land he takes a lion's share as his fee. Hence the people abuse him on
his back. The villagers are tired of him and have no good opinion of him. The
Gram Suraj Andolan or any Andolan cannot check him from doing all sort of
nasty things. He has now a good photocopy shop in the name of his SOil in the
heart of the market place.
Prakash Jain and others belonging to the Congress Party
Prakash Jain did not favour the midday meals in the schools. He said that this is
wastage of time. The students are more interested in meals rather than studying.
As soon as they get the meals they run away from schools.
These Congress members said that the Gram Sabha is only in name. There are
very few members who attend the Gram Sabha meetingS. Every time the meeting
has to be adjoumed for an hour and then a few members start the meeting.
He said that the forests around Bagicha have been cut. Hence there are few
animals and birds inside the forest. All of them criticized the BJP for its communal
attitude. The party is unnecessarily harassing the Christians and Christian
Missionaries. The Christian Missionaries have done a lot of work in the field of
education and health. The Schools should have 5 teachers for the five classes but
the government keeps only one or two teachers.
He said that the Congress Govemment has established the Korwa Vikas
Pradhikaran. The crores of rupees come for the development of these Paltadi
Korwas and Birhors who live on the outset or inside the mountains and forests.
He said that the Gram Panchayat sources of revenues are increasing. Besides the
State and Central grants, taxes in the market, taxes on commercial houses and
shops are increasing as the village is developing fast.
He criticized the Collector M. R. Sarthi who was appointed by Congress
government. He was accused of misconduct towards the minority group, especially
against Christians. Similarly Jain criticized Judhbir Singh, the son ofBJP leader and
Ex-Central Minister Shri Dilip Singh Judeo for troubling Christians. He is a terror
in the area.
Pahadi Korwas and Birhors speak sadri language. They also speak Hindi. He said
that the Ramakrishna Mission has done a commendable work in educating the
183
Pahadi Korwas and Birhors. "[bey have started a very good school at Kurumkcla
on the outskirts of Bagicha.
He said that there is no dearth of irrigation water. 1be two rivers, the Dudki and
the Rajpuri flow on two sides of Ba~:,>icha.
The Oraons are the main residents of Bagicha. Besides there are other castes and
tribes like Nagesias, Gonds, Lohars, Chics, Ahirs, Kewats, Korwas, Gujars, Raut,
Rajputs, Sahus, Muslims:

girls. There is one private High School i.e. Sarswati Vidhya Mandir.
When Shri A.P. Jogi was Chief !vfinister he started the movement 'Gaon Dahar
Chalav'. The present BJP Chief Minister Shri Raman Singh has started the Gram
Suraj Andolan'. He gave the details of the Gram Suraj Andolan.

Radha Babu inTahsil Office
He said that it is a rich village with full irrigation facilities. People sow two crops;
paddy as a kharif crop and wheat as a rabi crop. Some rich farmers use tractors in
their farms. There are 18 tractors in the village. There is no need of tube wells as
the farmers get enough water from the rivers and canals.
The Crafts Men at the Cottage Industry Centre Visited
There is a small bread factory run by a Muslim. Other cottage industries are Dona,
leaf plate and cane chair making. The Government has started this. A Bengali
refugee has started a poultry farm. He imports chickens and rears them to make
grown up broiler hens.
Ganesh Ram Bhagat and Vishnu Sai Representative of the Area
Ganesh Ram Bhagat is the MLA and Vishnu Sai is the M.P. of Jashpur district.
Both belong to the BJP. They are against conversion. They are very proud of
Bagicha as the most beautiful village in the area.
They are supporters of BJP progrmmes of free distribution of cows and bullocks.
Though they know that the tribals are against cows and want Vanbhumi rights of
the forests, which they have been enjoying from ancient times. They are also in
favour of plantation of trees and to preserve the forests, the birds and animals in
the forest. They agree that the Rajpuri waterfalls should be developed into a tourist
resort. For this reason the road to the waterfall should be widened and rest houses
and hotels should be built near the waterfall site.
Korwa Village at Rapat Kona Visited and Surveyed
This is the habitat of the Pahadi Korwas and Birhors. Both live in the forest area,
but the Birhors live deep in the forest and very high on the hills. They come down
to Rapat Kona village and Bagicha on market days and on the days of Sarhul
Karma festivals. I interviewed some of the Pahadi Korwas. They were given
houses free by the government The contractors built the houses. The mud brick
houses were in a very bad condition and they fall at any time. The bricks used were
of rejected quality. The mason work was very bad beyond imagination. It was quite
185
clear that there was corruption all wund There are houses incomplete after 3 yeus
past.
The Korwas say that they were granted loans to sow potatoes. But the potato crop
failed or was destroyed by wild boars. Wdd boars come at night and are very
dangerous and attack the Korwas if they chase them out.
Failure of potato cwp has made the Korwas indebted to the. bank and their lands
· . ··· are mortgaged·. These Pahadi Korwa5 ate-'very critical of 'government and its
bureaucrats, who are very corrupt and dishonest.
Birhors reside in the High up Mountains that are Inaccessible
The Birhors are comparatively happier and lead a peaceful life as no official
reaches their ways. Their village is very high on the mounmins. They don't want
any government loan or development project and want to lead a peaceful life.
They come down from the mounmin top only when there are Karma and Sarhul
They also come down from mounmin top on market days.

election? He said that the BJP was propagating against the Christians and Christian
missionaries. Hence most of the Hindus voted for him. But La.k.ra said he did not
propagate on religious lines but he propagated for the development of the village.
Ajit Lakta, Augustus Toppo, WjDiam Xalxo, Rajknmar Kujur, Ajit Kujur,
Sunil Toppo and Stephen Tirkey
All these were interviewed together. They also said that the BJP candidate for the
post of Sarpanch won because he divided the voters on Hindu and Christian lines.
They said that they also celebrated the Karma and Sarhul feasts but separately. The
Karma and Sarhul feasts are connected with the crops. The Kha.rif and the lUbi
186
crops have been cut and people enjoy foe a few days becau..c;e they have wodled
hard for a number of months and now they must enjoy and celebrate.

in Indian villages. Even the remote villages are getting information about State,

1bis is woman reserve seat. Fulso Ekka a Ward member from Puma Patel Para
was interviewed. She was asked whom did she vote for? She said that she voted for
Raju Bhagat who had stood for Sarpanch but he lost miserably. Both the parties
deputed their agents for propagating in the Ward. The candidates are not given any
finanoal.help from the party."-They-had to make theii oWrnln'angement fur funds-.•
She said that she voted for Congress. She is a great supporter of the Congress
Party. Mohar Sai had won from his Ward but there w.is a lot of mal p:ractice during
election in his Ward The votes were counted again and P:rabhat Kumar was
declared winner for the post of the Sarpanch.
Did the former Sarpanch worked for the development of Bagicha? Yes she did a
lot of development work for Bagicha. She said that Sarhul is a festival of crops of
fruits. This is celebrated together in a grand manner. She said that we grow both
the crops; paddy and wheat. The farmers in Bagicha receive a good crop of wheat
from 10 to 12 quintals per acre. This is due to very good facilities of irrigation
from the two rivers and the canals.
Oraons have many folklores connected with different seasons, different crops,
different animals and birds.
Of the two· tribes the Pahadi Korwas and Birhors, the· Korwas are more
prosperous as they remain below the hilL The Bichors are expert in rope making,
but are less developed as they live in the high up mountains.
I asked what about family planning? She said that we do believe in family planning
and are against big families.
Ward No. 18 Lobar Toli-2
Bhakto Nagesia is a ward Panch. He is a Congress party member. He said that BJP
did not win of its own but due to gundagiri and creating fear among the voters.
The cows and bulls should be kept under control otherwise they eat up a
considerable portion of the crops sown.
Ward No. 12 Charmara Toli-Tarsius Minj, Molina Minj and Kusum Minj
The Minj family was interviewed. They were all supporters of the Congress. They
said that BJP is unnecessarily troubling the Christians and blaming of conversion.
Christians are a peace loving people and do not create disturbances. BJP mostly
wins by creating a fear psychologically.
All of them said that the previous Panchayat dominated by the Congress was very
good. It carried on many development works. The present BJP dominated
Panchayat is more interested in spreading Hindu culture and not in development
works.
190
Toppo's the NGO were interviewed again
I went again to the NGOs Vincent Toppo (husband) and Monica Toppo (wife) to
interview. Vincent Toppo has damaged his leg in a motorcycle accident. He was
hit by a truck while traveling by motorcycle. Hence his wife Monica is doing most
of the work on the site. He gives advice to her at home.
.
They 'are in charge of agricUltw'il}>development in the 7Bagicha area espedanf the
river basin. They are being funded by the international agency of IFAD
(International Fund for Agricultural Development). They are working on 2 Micro
Water Shed Projects: (i) Sivri Narain for Birhors and (it) Pandri Pani for Oraon
Villages. The Chief Minister has given them the peonission to work.
These NGOs are to develop five basic elements of nature in the area: Jal, Jtmgle,
Jamin, Air and Animals. Their aim is to carry on developmental work in such a
way that the labourers are engaged throughout the year in some work or the other.
Under the BIFE scheme they provide plants to the organizations for planting trees
etc.
IFAD also trains health workers to distribute medicines among the tribals. If the
health workers find that the patient is not suffering from any serious disease, they
give the medicine and it is not necessary to send the patient to the hospital. He is
sent to the hospital only when he suffers frOm. a serious disease.
There is a (MOU) Memorandum of Understanding between the Chhattisgarh
Tribal Development Society (CTDS) and the Jashpur Sewa Samity (JSS). They
have done these two things for the area: (i) Adivasi Girls Hostel (Adivasi Chhatra
Bas) and (n) Model English Medium School for the T ribals.

Samuel Sheikh former Ward member was interviewed The present ward member
is Avadhut Gupta. The total number of voters in this ward is 277. Many house
have been built under Indira Awas Y ojana. The BJP member Avadhut Gupta won
the Ward election by a comfortable majority. He was offered a bribe to sit in
favour of the Congress member but he refused to take the bribe, and contested the

votes. Her ·rival received only ·5 votes. She said that·· they-,have to go to bl.odi:·~
headquarter for funds, where they have to show the work plan. She is very
interested in developing her Ward.
·
Dr. Baxla
He was in government service. His wife is also a doctor. He was posted to
Bagicha, but was regarded as a man of Congress Chief Minister Ajit Jogi. Gastero
entities started in Pahadi Korwa area. The BJP government charged Dt:. Baxla of
not doing his duties properly and was transferred. Thus his wife was posted in one
place and the doctor was posted in another place. Generally the government keeps
husband and wife in one place only if both are government servants. But the BJP
was against Baxlas' Congress background and tiansfeo:ed him to different place
but he filed a petition in the High court for the reinstallation. This was a sort of
tdcingrevenge.
·
He has built a very good house in the market area of Bagicha. He said that many
of the Pahadi Korwas died of Gestero entities because of eating rotten potatoes
sown by them with the help of a loan from the bank. The crop failed due to
rotting disease. The Korwas ate these rotten potatoes and many of them died.
Dr. Baxla said that he is a social worker. He goes amongst the tnbals from one
village to another and gives them free medicine and treatment. The BJP
government took it as an ill. The BJP thought that he was carrying on propaganda
against the government and misguiding the tribals. illtimately, in spite of doing
good work, he was suspended from service.
Now he is practicing in his dispensary in Bagicha and has a very good practice. He
always moves from one village to another doing social work, distnouting medicine
to the people who are suffering from illness. He has gained a good popularity
among the tribals.
Ward No. 10 Parhar Toli (Girija Para)
This is a reserved seat for women. Regina Lakra is a Ward member. Two other
candidates contested from the Ward They are Silvina Kerketta and Sarojini
Sidhor. There were 140 voters in this Ward Regina's husband also helped her in
her campaign. She did not spend money for the election but simply carried on the
campaign from door to door. Thus she had personal contact with the voters. She
said that the Ward must have two borings for drinking water.
192
She owns very little land of 65 decimal She said that the present Satpanch is a
hard worker and is going from Ward to Ward. noting the requirements of the
Wards for roads, borings, drains, schools, electricity etc.
There is a government primary school where only two teachers are teaching to 5
classes. This is affecting teaching. She is interested in developing her Ward.
There is an Ayurvedic and Homeopathic hospitals. But very few ~le go to
these hospitals. The family plarullng is becomitlg p<>pular and the pe0ple"are in
fuvour of small families. In a tribal society like Bagicha men and women both
drink openly. Generally, they prepare the spirits (alcohoQ in their homes and hence
their money is not wasted in purchasing liquor. They get the liquor at home.
Liquor is a part of their food and a social custom to drink.
She said that Bagicha has two crops of paddy and wheat There is an Anganbadi,
home for children from 3 to 5 years. Mrs. Bhagat is in charge of the school
The other persons interviewed in this Ward were Benjamin Toppo, Paulose Lakra,
Kamal Minj, Abraham Xalxo, Mariam Xalxo and Indumati Xalxo. These are the
information I received when asked them. The tribals ·do not bother about the
forest rules. They go to the jungle and cut trees for firewood. There are 25
Christian families. The area is surrounded by Naxalites who come from ]backhand
and there is also the menace of elephants.

Pahadi Korwa children. The building is very fine and attractive and is situated in a
high place. There is big campus for future development. The village is a bit away
from the Mission area. Hence it is clean beyond imagination. Every classroom is
very clean furnished with good fumitures. The closed circuit camera is fixed in
every class rooms, staff and office. The teachers are all devoted and work hard.

Ward No. 1 (Korwa Para) Mohar Sai
From this Ward Mohar Sai competed for the post of Sarpanch. His rival was the
elected Sarpanch Prabhat Kumar.
There was a close contest between these two candidates for the post of Sarpanch.
Mohar Sai was a Congress candidate. Initially in the ·.first.oounting of votes :Mohar
Sai was declared winner. The votes obtained were Mohar Sai-513 and Prabhat
Kumar-502.
But Prabhat Kumar appealed for recounting of votes. In the recounting of votes
Prabhat Kumar was declared winner. Prabhat Kumar received 520 votes. The
ballot box was submitted very late. The first counting was not proper. The town
inspector and others engaged in counting did not play their role properly. On these
grounds Prabhat Kumar petitioned for recounting and approached the Minister
Ganesh Ram Bhagat. The Minister also demanded for recounting.
The people of Bagicha were divided on this ground Some said that Mohar Sai had
won. These were all Congress supporters. Others said that Prabhat Kumar was
right in complaining and demanding for recounting. These were BJP supporters.
Thus the Panchayat election had divided the voters on party lines, the BJP and the
Congress. The Panchayat elections should be &ee from party politics, party play
and party slogans. But in actual practice these rules are not observed and have
been broken in several Panchayat elections. The parties have penetrated to the
village level and divided the villages on party lines. 1bis has disturbed the peace of
villages as it is being seen in Bagicha and other villages. But it has also its
advantages. It is politicizing the villages. People are now politically awakened. They
are taking great interest in party politics and elections. The villages were sleepy in
the past and had little interest in politics. "Mounrup ho hamesa bani" said Tulsidas
in his Ramayana. But now the days of Tulsidas are gone. The people are taking
keen interest in elections of Centre, State and Local. The percentage of voting in
the villages is very high. It reaches upto 90 percent Periclese, the Athenian
democrat said, ''Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty.

Appendix - IV
A Brief History of Oraons
Bagicha is a small village. of J ashpur district in. Chhattisgarlt. It is inhabited by
Oraori~ Of Chota Nagpur. ·I have selected this topic because I am myself an"&aon
and I am well conversant with this beautiful village. Bagicha is real a garden
surrounded by hills and mountains, with small streams and rivers flowing allround.
The whole area of Koriya, Sarguja and Jashpur are connected with Jhark.hand, a
huge forest tract and tribal area mostly inhabited by Oraons and Mundas. Pahadi
Korwas also reside in Jashpur but are few in number.
No good history books have been written on this Oraon legend. The Christian
missionaries of course settled in this Oraon belt and have written some good
books like Dr. Philip Ekka, SJ (fribal Movements: A Study in Social Change,
Tribal Research and Documentation Centre, Asha Deep, Pathalgaon, Chhattisgarh,
2003) and Ram Dayal Munda and S. Bosu Mullick (fhe Jharkhand Movement
Indigenous Peoples' Struggle_ for Autonomy in India, International Work Group
for Indigenous Affairs, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2003).
History not documented-Hindu period
For the early history of the Oraons no book bas been written as Dr. Philip Ekka
says "for the reconstruction of the early history of the O:raons we have only their
oral tradition to go by''. These maintain that after long years of wandering in the
north and west of India, the ancestors of the Mundas and O:raons came to settle in
Koriya, Sarguja, Jashpur and parts of Bihar and Orissa probably during the 1st
millennium B.C. The area was thickly covered with jtmgles, hills, mountains, rivers,
and streams. Of course Mundas first settled in this part, then came the Oraons.
Both these tribes lived amicably for centuries side by side, but later the Mundas
moved further east and south while the O:raons predominated in the west and
north west of the platealL
In the Vedas and the Ramayana we get a description of the forest living people.
The Aryan expansion led to the flight of these peoples to Chota Nagpur area.
As the uniform tradition of the Mundas and O:raons indicate and the
"kursians''(chair or throne) that is, tradition of the Maharaja's family suggests
around the first century A.D. that Phani Mukut Rai, an Wicommonly gifted and
ambitious Parha leader secured precedence over the other Parha heads, acquired
authority of a chief and the title of Raja or King. His successors, coming in contact
with the neighbouring Hindu rulers married into the Rajput families of Pachete
and other Hindu families, and became and were accepted as Hindu Rajputs.
202
After their contact with the Moghul court at Delhi in the Seventeenth centmy,
they employed a pompous retinue of Hindu Brahmins and Rajput courtiers and
mercenaries. These they remunerated by giving grants of villages whose customs
and tributes they were allowed to enjoy on very easy terms. These grantees were
the Jagirdars of the later periods. As they came &om other Hindu provinces of
Bihar, Orissa and the Central Provinces where the rent systems were prevalent,
they may have suggested> to the Raja the ideabf>transfonning the··customary village
gifts into regular annual tributes, first in kind and then in cash. Thus the foreign
idea of cash rent made a surreptious entry into 'the land of the Oraons and
Mundas.
Legendary Genealogical tree of the Maharaja
The Brahmin courtiers drew up the legendary serpent king who escaped from
Benaras and married the daughter of a Brahmin, this serpent, Pumiarika, is
supposed to have taken his pregnant wife on a pilgrimage to Orissa, on his way
back he halted at Sutiamba and revealed his real nature to his Brahmin wife by
turning into a real serpent, and then disappeared into a tank. His wife bore him the
son Phani Mukut Rai and then died. Madra Munda, Headman of Sutiamba, is said
to have adopted the child whom he discovered on the bank of the village tank
protected by" the hood of the cobra, Pundarika, his father (Hahn, FR., "some
notes on the religion and the superstitions of the Oraons" JASB, Vol. LXXI, Part
III, 1903, P.12).
Dr. Philip Ekka says (p.73) that this is an instance of a process of caste
incorporation. A Wealthy tribal family can marry into Hindu families of the second
caste and then proceed to justify its transition caste system by inventing a
mythological genealogy. It is said that many of the so called Rajput Rajas of the
Mundas and Oraons are in fact tribal chief who have married into Hindu fiunilies.
Muslim Period
In 1585, the 30th year of Akbar's reign, an expedition sent by Akbar's general
Shahabaz Khan, reduced Madhu Singh the forty fourth Raja of Khukra (Chota
Nagpur) to the position of a tributary of the emperor of Delhi This subjection was
however, only nominal· and the Mohammedans contended themselves with
occasional raids into the country for plunder and tnbute in the shape of diamonds
found in the area.
In 1616, emperor Jahangir sent his lieutenant Ibrahim Khan, the Governor of
Bihar, with a large force to overrun the country and to take possession of the
diamond washings.
During this period there was a considerable immigration of Muslims and Hindus.
The Rajas also succeeded in consolidating their power over the Mundas and
203
Ot:aons by the introduction of Hindu settlers who were given grants of villages on
easy terms. These settlers were required to give miliwy service to the Raja.
The administration of the villages was not interfered with and Otaons were still
effective guardians of their customary laws and privileges.
British Period
.
The British period of adffiinistmtion was uw:ked by:the following featuies~ "
(1)
The Revenue system was completely changed It was based on cash
payment. The relation between the f.umei:s and landlords was changed.
The permanent settlement brought uniformity in the revenue system and
provided the condition of agricultut:al development, but it replaced the
organic ties between the two classes of rural society by an impersonal
cash nexus. The tow classes of landlords and peasants were hence forth
unrelated but social justice was not done.
(2)
Reorganization of district and Judicial administration.
(3)
Complete centralization was introduced and age-old village autonomy
was broken.
East India Company
In the year 1765, Chota Nagpur was pa!ised to the East India Company as part of
the Dewan of Bihar. It is known as Mokhareji Period (1765-1770), Mokhareji
means dismembered 'metal' in the revenue returns prepared by Mohamed Reja
Khan on behalf of the company. This resulted in great hardship to the peasants.
In 1771-79 an agreement was made with Raja Drip Nath Sahi by which he agreed
to pay annual revenue of Rs 12000 including customs and transit duties.
Ramgarh regulation district period (1779-1833)
This is one of the most unsettled periods of British rule in Chota Nagpur. One
expediency after another was tried out to govern this large territory with a few
British officers. The Ot:aons and Mundas were exploited to the utmost by foreign
revenue collectors. This drove the whole aboriginal population to rise in most
widespread rebellion against foreign Jagirdars and Thikadars.
In 1780 this area was brought under a judge, a lllllgistt:ate or a collector. This
centralization was gready disliked by the local population. The powers of Rajas
were gready reduced. His power to collect excise duties was also reduced. The
introduction of police system further weakened the position of the Raja.
The whole Ot:aon, Munda and Kol areas were administered from a distance.
Bengal governed the whole area. The distant rule resulted in great injustice and
hardship.
204
The insurrection in the Kol, Monda and Oraon Tract
There was lawlessness prevailing in the area. The British had to use force to
suppress rebellion. But the uprising did chaw the attention of the British
authorities.
In 1853-54 when Sir Henry Ricketts, a member of the Boa.l:d of Revenue came on
a tour of inspection to• Chota Nagpur, lie fuund that the Bhuinhar:Hands of the
Mundas and Oraons were exposed to the rapacity of the alien middlemen, who
spared no force or fraud to obtain these lands of the Mundas and Oraons. Ricketts
wanted to check this lawlessness and the misrule of the alien Thikadars. Mr.
Ricketts accordingly recommended, "1be Governor Generals agent be directed to
select at random, a small parganah of Chota Nagpllt' and to direct his assistant to
ascertain by careful enquiry what has become of the original village holder of every
village in the parganah ...... Whether they were still in possession, if not when they
were dispossessed, and what has become of them... Ultimate measures must
depend on the tesult of investigation".
The investigation thus tecommended, was indefinitely postponed, but soon after
the submission of the teports of Mt. Ricketts, a further change in administration
was introduced in the year 1854 by the Act XX of 1854, the South West Frontier
Agency was abolished and Chota Nagpw: passed under the· Lieutenant Governor
of Bengal as a ''Non-Regulation Pwvince" and since then, Chota Nagput has been
administered as a Division of Bengal under a Commissioner till the separation of
the Province of Bihar and Orissa in the year 1912 when it was again added to
Bihar.
Oppression Continued
Although on the establishment of British courts of justice at Ranchi (Kishenpw:)
and a military cantonment at Dotanda in the heart of Chota Nagpur, the jagirdats
and thikadars became less oppressive and generally referred their du;putes to the
British tribunals, they continued their campaign of dispossessing their Munda and
Omon tenants steadily though secretly. Colonel Dalton a very able officer. and
quite sympathetic to the tribal people, wrote in 1871 about the post insurrection
period as 'the insurrection of 1871 was put down by a strong hand'. The Kols were
thoroughly subjugated. Though in some cases measures were adopted to protect
them from further oppression, and especially from wrongful eviction, the farmers,
thikadars and the sub-proprietors and jagirdar:s in other cases retaliated severely on
the Kols, and I believe it was then that the greatest disturbance of the peasant
proprietary tenure oceutred. Many Kols left the county that afterwards returned
and claimed their lands. But as they were absentees for years the &rmers, the
thikadars and jagirdars objected to their reentry.
205
Christian Missionary Influence
The oppression continued almost unabated till the aaival of the Gem1211 Lutheran
Mission in 1845. With the introduction of Ouistianity and the spread of education,
the converts soon imbibed a spirit of independence and boldly stood up for their
rights.
.
Major Hannynston wrote
1854 "The Bhuinha.rS are-exposed to the .rai>acity•of
middlemen, aliens who are hated by the people, and who to obtain these lands,
spare no force or fraud; again these our courts afford no faciJe remedy, and the day
may not be distant when the people goaded beyond their endurance, may take the
law into their own hands."
The period from 1854-1912 is known as the agency of commissioners. Side by side
the Missionaries spread their activities by converting the Otaons, Mundas and
Kols. They started opening schools, hospitals and colleges. Several refonns were
introduced in civil, criminal justice and revenue system. The converts gave
petitions to the government against the misuse of the power by the Rajas and the
Jaminidars.
With the advent of the Catholic Mission in the area, conversions followed in rapid
numbers. The converts opposed al1 illegal acts and they in many cases appealed to
Calcutta and London.
·
In 1948-49 the Oraon area of Koriya, Sarguja and Jashpur were merged with the
new state of C.P. and Berar and then afterwards in the newly funned Madhya
Pradesh. Then in 1999 these areas formed part of Chhattisgarh as three districts
Koriya, Sarguja, and Jashpur.
m
The Military and Religious Movements among the Oraons
The looting of the tenants saw the armed revolt of Birsa Munda. Birsa Munda was
hom in 1875. He was a convert to Christianity. He asked the peasants to revolt
against the injustices of the Jamindars and rich landlords.
The Birsa revolt once more demonstrated to the government the urgency of
coming to grips with the problem of agrarian discontent among the Mundas and
Oraons. A definite survey of the land and settlement of rent seemed to be the only
effective answer to the recurring agrarian revolts.
The T ana Bhagat Movement among the Oraons
The individual who started the Tana Bhagat movement was Jatra Oraon, a twenty
five year old youth of village Chingri of Gumla subdivision in Ranchi District. He
proclaimed in April 1914 that in a vision he has been ordered by Dhaones (God)
to tell the Oraons to abandon the worship ofBhuts (evil spirits), to do away with
animal sacrifice, animal food, alcoholic drinks, folk dances and amusements, to
stop ploughing the fields and paying rents to the Jamindars, and to refuse to
206
engage themselves as servants or labourers to non-Omons. He furthet told the
people that Dharmes (God) had also charged him with the wk of making as many
disciples as he could and to teach them divinely inspired songs and mantras for
exorcising spirits and healing the sick. In no time he attracted about two thousand
followers and the new faith started to spread in all directions. Jatra was looked
upon as a sort of.Oraon Moses who w~uld lead his people to. a better temporal
and moral world · -: ··•
