Description
This seminal work by R. D. Banerji traces the complete history of Orissa from its earliest civilizations to the establishment of British colonial rule. The author meticulously documents the region’s diverse dynasties, including the Mauryan, Kalinga, and Odia kingdoms, analyzing their contributions to art, architecture, and governance.
The book explores Orissa’s significant role in Indian history, particularly its maritime trade, Buddhist heritage, and the famous Jagannath temple complex. It examines the political structures, economic systems, and social customs that defined the region across centuries. The work also covers the impact of external invasions and the eventual British colonization.
This second edition, published by Gyan Publishing House, remains an authoritative reference for historians, students, and researchers interested in Eastern Indian history and Odia civilization.
