This work, based on epigraphic evidences (37 inscriptions), is a
very humble attempt to study the social history of Khinjali mandala
region under the rule of Bhanja dynasty in early medieval Odisha.
All the inscriptions are donative in nature and they indicate land
grants of virgin or forest area- leading to deforestation and
subsequently extension of agricultural lands. This work depicts
tribals' holistic integration to the Brahmanical order ---- viz a.
economically, tribals were peasantised in the agrarian system, b.
socially, they were incorporated in the brahmanical 4 fold varna
system, c. politically, tribal egalitarianism was substituted by
hierarchical monarchy and d. lastly, the religious autochthonous
deity (Stambheshswari) was also integrated to the Brahmanical
pantheon (cult of Jagannath).
