Odia Homelands Stolen & Silenced || Scooted Off Documentary || Seraikella-Kharsawan || India

Uncover the forgotten history of Seraikela & Kharsawan, two princely states with roots deeply linked to Odisha, now administered by Jharkhand. This documentary delves into the untold story of a community's fight for linguistic and cultural identity. Discover how these regions, historically dominant in Odia speakers, were controversially merged with Bihar after India's independence, leading to tragic events like the Kharsawan Firing on January 1, 1948, where official reports cited 35 deaths, though local accounts suggest many more. Learn about the roles of titans like Sardar Patel, Dr. Harekrushna Mahatab, Madhusudan Das, and Gopabandhu Das in shaping the modern states. We expose the 'missed opportunity' for Odisha, exacerbated by Mayurbhanj's delayed merger in 1949, which paved the way for Saraikela and Kharsawan's fate in 1948. Fast forward to today, in the Seraikela-Kharsawan district, with a total population of 1,065,056 as per the 2011 Census. While the district is approximately 35.18% Scheduled Tribe (374,642 people), the Odia-speaking population, once a clear majority, now faces significant challenges. The administrative shift prioritizes Hindi, impacting the vibrant Odia culture and language. This is not just history; it's a living struggle for recognition and preservation. Call to Action: Watch now to understand this pivotal chapter in Indian history and the ongoing challenges faced by its linguistic minorities. Your awareness can make a difference. music- SMSAT6E1VLBOTCEH FTTPJV5COD6QLHRY
