    DISTRICT PURBA MEDINIPUR

    Mahishadal Rajbari MahishadalRajbari is situated at a distance of only 16 km from Tamluk,the

    Head Quarter of district Purba Medinipur, andis famous for the 16th Century remnants of a historical palace. The Mahishadal Rajbari comprises of large mansions, temples and big buildings(speciallyDewan House) which were built from 16th Century to 18th Century.

    In the 16th Century AD, ShriJanardhanUpadhyay Garg, a businessman of Uttar Pradesh, bought a big estate near Mahishadal and built a mansion for the purpose of Zamindari. In the 18th Century, the ruling of his descendants, especially during the days of Rani Janaki Devi, reached its peak and a new palace was built adjacent to the original palace, which are together known as the Mahishadal Rajbari. It is believed thatRani Janaki Devi was against the British dominion prevailing at her time.

    Presently, the old mansion,which was built in 16th Century is in ruins but the new palace serves as a museum which is a treasure house of 16th to 18th Century artifacts and relics including beautiful paintings, rare manuscripts, medallions, photographs, decorative furniture,stuffed bodies of animals and huntingapparatus etc.Apart from this Mansion, Rani Janaki Devi also constructed two temples namelyGopaljew Temple and Ramjew Temple in the vicinity of the Rajbari.Gopaljew Temple,dedicated to Lord Krishna,was built in 1778. In the adjacentRamjew Temple, Rama, Sita, Lakshman and Hanuman idolsareinstalled.Behind these two temples there is also a huge place called Dubey Palace which is also known as Dewan House.

    FOREWORD The District Census Handbook (DCHB) is an important publication of the Census Organization since 1951. It contains both Census and non Census data of urban and rural areas for each District. The Census data provide information on demographic and socio-economic characteristics of population at the lowest administrative unit i.e. of each Village and Town and ward of the District. The Primary Census Abstract (PCA) part of this publication contains Census data including data on household amenities collected during 1st.phase of the Census i.e. House Listing and Housing Census. The non Census data presented in the DCHB is in the form of Village Directory and Town Directory contain information on various infrastructure facilities available in the village and town viz; education, medical, drinking water, communication and transport, post and telegraph, electricity, banking, and other miscellaneous facilities. Later on, the Telegraph Services were closed by the Government of India on 15th. July, 2013. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at the grass-root level. 2. In the 1961 Census, DCHB provided a descriptive account of the District, administrative statistics, Census tables and Village and Town Directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to Village and Town Directory, Part-B to Village and Town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, District Census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of Villages. The 1981 Census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained Village and Town Directory and Part-B the PCA of Village and Town including the SCs and STs PCA up to Tahsil/Town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of Village and Town Directory were added. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent Village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. 3. The pattern of 1981 Census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 Census. In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 Census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 Census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of Village Directory and PCA data instead of the traditional Tahsil/Taluk/PS level presentation. 4. As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by including some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodity manufactured in a Village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier Censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details on all slums instead of notified slums. 5. The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. These newly

  • 2

    added amenities are: Pre-Primary School, Engineering College, Medical College, Management Institute, Polytechnic, Non-formal Training Centre, Special School for Disabled, Community Health Centre, Veterinary Hospital, Mobile Health Clinic, Medical Practitioner with MBBS Degree, Medical Practitioner with no degree, Traditional Practitioner and faith Healer, Medicine Shop, Community Toilet, Rural Sanitary Mart or Sanitary Hardware Outlet in the Village, Community Bio- gas, Sub Post Office, Village Pin Code, Public Call Office, Mobile Phone Coverage, Internet Cafes/ Common Service Centre, Private Courier Facility, Auto/Modified Autos, Taxis and Vans, Tractors, Cycle-pulled Rickshaws, Carts driven by Animals, Village connected to National Highway, State Highway, Major District Road, and Other District Road, Availability of Water Bounded Macadam Roads in Village, ATM, Self-Help Group, Public Distribution System(PDS) Shop, Mandis/Regular Market, Weekly Haat, Agricultural Marketing Society, Nutritional Centers (ICDS), Anganwadi Centre, ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activist), Sports Field, Public Library, Public Reading Room, Assembly Polling station, Birth & Death Registration Office. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the details and the data of each Town have been presented viz.; (i)-Status and Growth History of Towns,(ii)- Physical Aspects and Location of Towns, (iii)-Civic and other Amenities, (iv)-Medical Facilities, (v)-Educational, Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi)- Industry & Banking, and (vii)- Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 Census as presented in earlier Census.

    6. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts, Part-Acontains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract. Both the Parts have been published in separate volumes in 2011 Census.

    7. The Village and Town level amenities data have been collected, compiled andcomputerized under the supervision of Shri Deepak Ghosh, IAS., Director of Census Operation, West Bengal. The task of Planning, Designing and Co-ordination of this publication was carried out by Dr. Pratibha Kumari, Assistant Registrar General (SS) under the guidance & supervision of Dr. R.C.Sethi, Ex-Addl.

    2011 is seventh in the series.

    Over the time, the contents of DCHB havebeen changing keeping in track with

    the requirement of the data user on different amenities. Since DCHB is a compilation of

    Census and non-Census data, the presentation is being done in two parts, viz. the Part-A

    and Part-B separately for each district. Part-A contains Village & Town Directory data

    with some important tables depicting availability of basic civic amenities such as

    drinking water facilities, educational facilities, post & telegraph facilities, banking

    facilities etc. at the C.D. Block/Village and Town level. Part-B on the other hand contains

    of population, age group of 0-6 years, literate and illiterate, Scheduled Castes and

    Scheduled Tribes, worker and non-worker data, economic category i.e. cultivator,

    Apart from the above, DCHB also furnishes a variety of essential information

    pertaining to the district like brief history, the information about administrative set-up,

    location, climate, economic resources, land use, transport, industry, trade and

    commerce, place of historical, archaeological and tourists importance etc. It also provides

    HISTORY AND SCOPE OF THE DISTRICT CENSUS HANDBOOK

    The need of data at the grass root level for the administrative and planning purposes at sub micro level as well as academic studies prompted the innovation of District Census Handbook. District Census Handbook is a unique publication from the Census organization which provides most authentic details of census and non-census information from village and town level to district level. The District Census Handbook was firstly introduced during the 1951 Census. It contains both census and non census data of urban as well as rural areas for each district. The census data contain several demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the lowest administrative unit i.e. of each village and town and ward of the district. The non census data comprise of data on availability of various civic amenities and infrastructural facilities etc. at the town and village level which constitute Village Directory and Town Directory part of the DCHB. The data of DCHB are of considerable importance in the context of planning and development at grass-root level.

    In 1961 census DCHB provided a descriptive account of the district, administrative statistics, census tables and village and town directory including Primary Census Abstract. This pattern was changed in 1971 Census and the DCHB was published in three parts: Part-A related to village and town directory, Part-B to village and town PCA and Part-C comprised analytical report, administrative statistics, district census tables and certain analytical tables based on PCA and amenity data in respect of villages. The 1981 census DCHB was published in two parts: Part-A contained village and town directory and Part-B the PCA of village and town including the SCs and STs PCA up to tahsil/town levels. New features along with restructuring of the formats of village and town directory were added into it. In Village Directory, all amenities except electricity were brought together and if any amenity was not available in the referent village, the distance in broad ranges from the nearest place having such an amenity, was given. The pattern of 1981 census was followed by and large for the DCHB of 1991 Census except the format of PCA. It was restructured. Nine-fold industrial classification of main workers was given against the four-fold industrial classification presented in the 1981 census. In addition, sex wise population in 0-6 age group was included in the PCA for the first time with a view to enable the data users to compile more realistic literacy rate as all children below 7 years of age had been treated as illiterate at the time of 1991 census. One of the important innovations in the 1991 census was the Community Development Block (CD Block) level presentation of village directory and PCA data instead of the traditional tahsil/taluk/PS level presentation.

    As regards DCHB of 2001 Census, the scope of Village Directory was improved by including some other amenities like banking, recreational and cultural facilities, newspapers & magazines and `most important commodity manufactured in a village in addition to prescribed facilities of earlier censuses. In Town Directory, the statement on Slums was modified and its coverage was enlarged by including details on all slums instead of notified slums.

    The scope and coverage of Village Directory of 2011 DCHB has been widened by including a number of new amenities in addition to those of 2001. In the Town Directory, seven Statements containing the details and the data of each town have been presented viz.; (i)-Status and Growth History of towns,(ii)- Physical Aspects and Location of Towns, (iii)-Civic and other Amenities, (iv)-Medical Facilities, (v)-Educational, Recreational & Cultural Facilities, (vi)- Industry & Banking, and (vii)- Civic & other amenities in Slums respectively. CD Block wise data of Village Directory and Village PCA have been presented in DCHB of 2011 census as presented in earlier census. The data of DCHB 2011 Census have been presented in two parts, Part-A contains Village and Town Directory and Part-B contains Village and Town wise Primary Census Abstract. Both the Parts have been published in separate volumes in 2011 Census.

    Brief history of the District

    The history of Purba Medinipur district comprising part of erstwhile Medinipur

    district is mostly associated with the ancient port city of Tamralipta or Tamralipti. This port

    city is believed has been the exit point of the trade route for the South and South-East Asia

    during Mauryan era. It was located on the bank of river Rupnarayana and was connected

    by roads with the major ancient cities like Rajgriha, Shravasti, Patiliputra, Varanasi and

    Taxila.

    In the very beginning, Medinipur, now known as modern Tamluk, used to be known

    as Tamralipta whose location can be pinpointed to that tract in the east of the district

    which is slightly above sea-level and intersected by numerous waterways. This part was

    inhabited by tribes or communities of fishermen, boatmen and sailors. Medinipurs

    significance can be established from the fact that it used to be the Capital of an ancient

    kingdom and flourished as a sea-port. The stronghold of the Kaibarttas, fishing and boating

    caste finds adequate mention in the Pillar Edict V of Asoka as Kevata and in the

    Vajrasenayi Samhita(Yajurveda) as Kevatta.

    The place called Tamralipta has been found to be mentioned in numerous references

    like the great epics, Jaina textsand various holy books. It enjoys a special pride of place due

    to its mention the Mahabharata as Tamralipta (-lipti) or Damalipta with an entity of its own

    clearly distinct from the Northern, Eastern, Central Bengal and Suhma territories. The

    place has been referred differently in different occasions.InJaina Prajnapana it is mentioned

    as the part of Vangaand in Dandis Dasakumaracharitait is mentioned as the part of

    Suhma. The modern day Tamluk constituted the Tamalites of Ptolemy and used to be the

    capital of the Suhma territory. During Hiuen Tsangs visit, Tamluk stretched for about 150

    miles from Samatata and was about 233 miles in circuit. The land and water

    communication converged at that point of the land which was low and moist forming a

    bay. In the present day, Tamluk is situated on the right bank of the river Rupnarayan

    about twelve miles from its junction with the Hooghly river falling within the jurisdiction of

    Purba Medinipur district.

    The channels of communication were all-round with the main routes lying between

    the Jungle Mahals and the sea-board, thus connecting Magadha and Suhma in the north

    and Kalinga in the south. The route connecting Magadha and Suhma are still in existence,

    now connecting Tamluk with Panskura, Medinipur and Garhbeta, Simlipal along the right

    bank of the Dwarakeswar river, stretching till the former Manbhum past Telkupi and Para

    across the Damodar and Pareshnath hill to Rajgriha. The route connecting Kalinga on the

  • 10

    south stretches from Barddhaman via Riana, Khandagosh, Arambag and Goghat through

    Kespur and Medinipur to Baleswar and Puri via Danton and has existed as an age-old

    route. A kind of contradiction exists regarding the dominion of Chandragupta (321-297

    B.C.)wherein it is conjectured whether the borderland (pratyanta desha) was a part of the

    empire of Chandragupta. However, it is surmised that in all probability, it was, because

    considering the significance of a port like Tamralipti, and Chandraguptas indomitable seize

    of a gargantuan proportion of land when he took over from his predecessor, Nanda the

    sovereignty of the country of the Gangaridae, i.e. Bengal, with the probable inclusion of

    Tamralipti, apart from other extensions spreading over a vast expanse i.e. from the Arabian

    Sea to the Bay of Bengal.

    The district became a place of great importance during the Mauryan Empire and

    Tamralipti assumed great significance by becoming the principal port on the Bay of Bengal

    during the reign of Asoka (circa 260 B.C.), Chandraguptas great grandson after his victory

    in Kalinga war. This can be reiterated from the fact that Asoka erected a stupa at Tamralipti

    and as per records of Buddhist legends, he embarked on journeys for Ceylon from here.

    After the decline of the Mauryan Empire in circa 180 B.C., the kings of Kalinga

    recovered their lost glory once again taking possession of Medinipurand consequently

    making Kalinga independent. At that time, the district formed an inseparable part of the

    Kingdom of Tamraliptithat belonged to Kalinga extending southwards from the junction of

    the Ganges with sea.This has beenmention in the epic of Mahabharata too, allotting a

    distinct entity to the district.

    A change of hands found the district being ruled by the Gupta Emperors. The visit of

    the Chinese pilgrim Fa-Hien coincided during the regime of Chandragupta Vikramaditya

    (between405 to 411AD). He documented the presence of 24 Buddhist monasteries in

    Tamralipti alone.Staying there for a period of two years, Fa-Hien satiated his literary

    interests by writing copies of sacred books and drawing image-pictures. After that, he

    embarked on a merchant vessel from Tamralipti and sailed to Ceylon which refers that

    bythat time Tamralipti had been an important sea-port.

    It is presumed that during the 6th century A.D., the district was no longer under the

    Gupta Empire but was more under the Deva Rakshita instead. The 7th century A.D. saw

    the district being conquered by the Bengal King Sasanka and subsequently by the Emperor

    Harshavardhana. The territories of both of these conquerors extended as far as Ganjam in

    the south. Twin tanks at Dantan called Sasangir Dighi commemorate the rule of Sasanka

  • 11

    whereas Hiuen Tsiang (Yaun Chwang) visited the place during the reign of Emperor

    Harshavardhana.

    The kingdom of Tamralipti had a distinct entity for several centuries but lost the

    same when it was eventually absorbed in the kingdom of Radha, i.e. Western Bengal. It is

    again presumed that the port of Tamralipti started declining since the time when

    Chodaganga Deva, who defeated the King of Mandar and annexed the whole of southern

    Radha including Medinipur. Then, the fate of Tamralipti dwindled converting into a mere

    frontier town of the Ganga Kings frequently subjected to attacks and devastation.

    The beginning of the Muslim period saw Medinipur forming the frontier of the

    kingdom of Orissa (Odisha). This rule which lasted for four and half centuries saw complete

    chaos and Medinipur was no exception.Being a frontier tract, Medinipur was the butt of

    exposure to constant raids and invasions during that period. The turmoil that the internal

    part of the country experienced during this period can be established from the brief

    accounts provided in the biographies of Sri Chaitanya (1486-1533), the great Vaisnavite

    scholar. The sad state of affairs can also be authenticated from the several Hindu temples

    which lay in ruins; pirates who gathered on the rivers and robbers of the land; villages were

    scarce and people feared the Yavanas. Cultivation and trade suffered as well bringing about

    complete ruin of Tamralipti i.e. Tamluk.

    The fortune of Orissa again changed hands when in 1568.Sulaiman Kararani, an

    Afghan King of Bengal, sent a force under his son, Bayazid to conquer Orissa along with

    Medinipur.Ultimatelythe whole of Orissa up to the Chilika Lake was conquered by the

    Afghans. But this did not change the fate of Medinipur. Medinipur suffered as ever under

    the Afghans and Sulaiman Kararani spent the last part of his life trying to suppress the

    surge of revolts in Orissa. His son, Daud Khan became involved in war with the stature of

    somebody as great as Emperor Akbar. The district became the battle field between Afghans

    and Mughals for as long as 30 years fighting for control over Orissa and Bengal. The fallout

    was the extreme suffering of people and a vivid account of such oppression has been

    corroborated by Kavikankan Mukundaram Chakrabarty (circa 1600) in his illustrious

    Chandimangal.

    The attacks and counterattacks by the warring factions of Afghans and Mughals

    were numerous during this period. A battle of enormous stature took place between the

    Afghans and the Mughals for the first time on 3rd March, 1575which extended over some

    six miles and a sign of commemoration of this battle is evident from the name of a village

    near the Orissa Trunk Road, two miles north of Danton village of presently Paschim

  • 12

    Medinipur called Mughalmari which means the Mughals slaughter. The battle also came to

    be known as the battle of Mughalmari which was led by Todar Mal under the viceroy ship of

    Mughal Khan. Ultimately, the Afghans faced defeat and Daud Khan took refuge in Cuttack

    and finally swore allegiance to the Mughal Emperor by executing a treaty by dint of which

    he was allowed to retain Orissa.

    But things again saw a turnaround when Munim Khan (who was wounded in the

    battle) perished due to fever at Gaur in October 1575. Seeing it as an opportune moment,

    Daud Khan revolted and recaptured Bengal but this lasted only for a while. The Afghans

    faced leadership problems as in July 1576; Daud Khan was defeated at Rajmahal, captured

    and executed. The Afghans suffered temporary defeat as there was resurgence when the

    formidable revolt broke out in the imperial army in 1580, the Afghans of Orissa rose under

    Katlu Khan and in 1581 overran Orissa and the south-west of Bengal. He could be

    subjugated by Akbars Generals only after the imperial authority was re-established. A

    treaty was executed between the Viceroy of Bengal and Katlu Khan which allowed Katlu

    Khan to retain Orissa including Medinipur as a tributary Chief. During the time of Man

    Singh, the then Governor of Bihar, Afghans revolted again under Usman Shujawal and

    Orissa and Bengal went out of Mughal control. This could be termed as a decisive battle

    under Man Singhs command wherein Usman was killed resulting in defeat of the Afghans.

    After this peace reigned as the Afghans were no longer capable of causing any trouble.

    The Afghan rule saw the district being compromised in two Sarkars, i.e. Jaleswar

    and Mandaran. The Mandaran comprised its north-eastern and eastern portions

    (Mahals,Chitwa, Mandalghat and Hijli). Sarkar Jaleswar comprised the rest of the district

    with 23 or 24 Mahals which were included partly or wholly, the land revenue amounting

    roughly to more than ten lakhs of rupees.Salt manufacturing seems to have started on the

    sea board but whether revenue was generated from that source or from timber and other

    forest produce is not known. The contending armies marched along the chief route which

    was naturally the Royal or Badshahi Road. The accounts of the marches helps determine

    the extent of the road which starts from Jehanabad, where it was joined by roads from

    Burdwan and Satgaon stretching south-west to Mandaran. From that point, it then clearly

    passed due east to Medinipur along the same line as Grand Trunk Road; from Medinipur it

    stretched a little towards the Orissa Trunk Road crossing old villages like Kesiari and

    Gaganeswar finally merging into the Subarnarekha river at Jaleswar.

    Under the Mughals, Medinipur continued to form part of Subah Orissa. A separate

    Governor was sent directly from the imperial court during the reign of Mughal Emperor

  • 13

    Jahangir. Emperor Shah Jahans regime saw Shah Shuja, the second son of the Emperor

    being appointed the Governor of Bengal and Orissa was also being controlled by him. A

    resettlement of Bengal and Orissa was made at that point of time since the coast needed to

    be protected from Portuguese predators and Arakan pirates.

    The sheen of Tamluk as a sea-port had faded and the place became more of a slave

    market. Ralph Fitch described Hijli as the great trade centre wherein many ships out of

    India came and lade from thence great store of rice and much cloth of cotton, wool and

    sugar and long pepper, great store of butter and other victuals. Time and again, it turned

    into the chief settlement of the Dutch, the Portuguese, the French and in the latter half of

    the century, the English.

    There was an upsurge of violence during the 17th century and the district saw

    disturbances thrice. The first one was witnessed in 1622 when Prince Khurram (later

    Emperor Shah Jahan) revolted against his father Emperor Jahangir and marched

    northwards from the Deccan through Orissa and Medinipur becoming the master of Bengal

    for two years. But his advancement suffered hindrances when he was stopped by the

    imperial forces near Allahabad and he fled to the Deccan through Medinipur. Peace was

    disrupted when war broke out between the English and the Nawab. Job Charnock took

    possession of Hijli after abandoning Hooghly. The third time peace was compromised in the

    district in 1696 when Shobha Singh, the Zamindar(Landlord) of Chitwa and Barda (two

    parganas in the Ghatal Sub-division) broke out in rebellion with Rahim Khan, the Chief of

    Afghans as ally. The loot and plunders by the Afghans went unabated until they were

    subjugated by Prince Azim-us-Shan, the newly appointed Governor of Bengal, who killed

    Rahim Khan defeating the Afghans and thus restoring tranquility within the district.

    Murshid Khan, the first appointed Diwan of Bengal and Orissa introduced more

    administrative changes in the beginning of the 18th century along with grouping Bengal in

    13 large divisions called chaklas. The district incorporated areas which were divided

    between Chaklas Hijli (including the Salt Mahals), Hugli and Bardhaman in addition to the

    Zamindari of Tamluk. The chaklas were further sub-divided into parganas. This did not last

    long as Ali Vardi Khan, who had just obtained Nawabship of Bengal from the imperial

    Mughals attacked Murshid Kuli Khan. Ali Vardi Khan then obtained the support of

    Zamindars by enticing them with khilats and gifts and then moving on to Jaleswar, he

    forced the passage of the Subarnarekha river against some troops of the Raja of

    Mayurbhanj and, in the process, decisively defeated Murshid Kuli Khan, the Governor of

    Orissa in February 1741. Ali Vardi went back after capturing Orissa but had to go back to

  • 14

    Cuttack again after receiving the news that Murshid Kulis son-in-law had captured his

    deputy. His journey to Cuttack was through Medinipur and this time, he met with

    everlasting success. Alas, this celebration of victory could not last long since he was again

    imparted the news during his return journey near Medinipur that the Marathas had

    attacked. This was dismal with reflections of unpreparedness since Ali Vardis new troops

    had dispersed by then, a huge chunk of the soldiers had obtained permission to return to

    their homes and the counterattack was feeble since scant resources were available to face

    40,000 Maratha under Bhaskar Pandit who, at that point of time, were already within 40

    miles of Medinipur and approaching with tremendous speed.

    The several Maratha attacks continued well into the next half of the century. Ali

    Vardi made such great blunders along with severe rainfall that at a certain point of time,

    the whole district of Medinipur as well as the whole of Bengal, west of the Ganges had been

    captured by the Marathas. After the rains ceased, the Marathas exhibited wisdom by

    retreating from Medinipur to Orissa when Ali Vardi advanced. After a hiatus of five years, in

    1747, Ali Vardi Khan made Mir Jafar Khan Fauzdar of Medinipur and Hijli with adequate

    arms to fight the battle as a measure to extricate the Marathas from Orissa and further

    sent his grandson Siraj-ud-daula to Balasore to drive out the Marathas in 1750 after he

    himself marched to Medinipur. This did not, in any way, guarantee success which was

    reflected in the further sequence of events. Frustration reigned in Ali Vardis camps owing

    to his failing intelligence, the fallout of which was that the Marathas set up camps in his old

    cantonments again. To aggravate matters further, Siraj-ud-daula had left for Patna with the

    mission to set himself up as an independent ruler. Tired of all these, Ali Vardi made truce

    with the Marathas in the year 1751. This was brought about by Ali Vardis relinquishing the

    province of Orissa as demarcated by the river Subarnarekha which was however, not the

    real boundary, as the Marathas had seized the territory north-east of the river in parganas

    Bhograi, Kamarda, Patashpur and Shahbanda and in several villages of the present

    thana(Police Station) of Gopiballavpur.

    A separate turn of events ensued in March 1760 when Emperor Shah Alam invaded

    and the Marathas resurfaced in Medinipur. They exhibited height of deception by posing as

    friend of the Emperor apart from taking advantage of the internal dissension in Bengal.

    Their advance was steady which was a cause for concern for the British. This was owing to

    the fact that not long before then, Medinipur had been surrendered to the British through a

    treaty dated 27th September, 1760 which entailed that Mir Kasim, son-in-law of Mir Zafar,

    would be appointed as Nawab Nazim and in return, three districts, namely Chittagong,

    Barddhaman and Medinipur would be granted to the East India Company. To curb the rise

  • 15

    of the Marathas, Captain Martin White was appointed by the Company with a detachment

    of Europeans and sepoys(Indian soldiers under the rule of the British)and some artillery to

    Medinipur, the province which he could bring into order rapidlyfacing very little resistance.

    The state of turmoil in Medinipur continued during the early days of British

    administration which was owing to the fact that being a border district, it was always liable

    to be invaded by the Marathas. This was aggravated by location factors, that is, the western

    portion full of dense forests coupled with the combination of the original inhabitants and

    forest chiefs of the region against them. This was aggravated by exactions demanded

    forcefully by armed sanyasins and fakirs.

    These sannyasins, fakirs or religious mendicants were mostly upcountry people who,

    like vagabonds moved around in various places, but mostly sacred places. The bands of

    such people increased in numbers when they were joined by local recruits who were guided

    to do so by insecure and embittered chieftains whose freedom seemed to be compromised

    by the British. These bands of people were found in the neighbourhood of Khirpai(Ghatal

    Sub-division) in February 1773 and people tried their very best to obstruct them.

    Thereafter, they were seen that year in the month of March in Raipur (now in Bankura) and

    Captain Forbes was given the charge to handle them. Their journey remained unabated

    with the troupe marching northwards from Balasore in October of the same year and this

    time Lieutenant Hearsey was given the charge to defeat them. Obviously, he too didnt meet

    with much success because next when they arrived in Mayurbhanj in November that year,

    Captain Thomson was accorded the responsibility to curb their march if they crossed the

    British territory. Since they did not do this as well, the question of obstructing them did not

    arise. They marched away to the hills en route Prayag (Allahabad).

    The awakening of the Marathas was a phenomenal event in the beginning of the 18th

    century. There was an attempt by the feudal lieutenants of Sivaji Maharaj to set up a Hindu

    regime all over India. The Bhonsleys of Nagpur, who were provided with economic help by

    the Gosain merchants in return for the monopoly right of collecting revenue and control

    over trade centers, attacked Orissa. Names of Brahman-Viashnavas like Sivbhatta Sathe,

    Sambhubharati Gosain, Udipuri Gosain etc. can be obtained from the Calendar of Persian

    correspondence and the English correspondence. Their work included money lending, trade

    of cotton and silk apart from preaching religion. Even though they were termed Sannyasins,

    the Giri Maharajas of Madhya Pradesh acted like oppressors, for which they could not gain

    the support of the common people when they revolted against the British. They served as

    the agents of the Bhonsley Kings and investors in Bargirhungama. The Sannyasin revolt

  • 16

    was a result of oppression of the common people and hence, cannot be termed as a revolt at

    all.

    Even though the Sannyasin Revolt cannot be termed as a revolt in the real sense, the

    Chuar Rebellion, as termed by the British, was truly a protest of the peasants against

    British misrule. The nomenclature of Chuars could be attributed to the actual so-called

    wild tribes of the region even though the British historian J.C.Price referred to Chuars as

    an outlandish fellow.

    A huge number of people participated in the revolt including the aboriginal

    derivatives and tribes who inhabited the Jungle Mahals, the tracts beyond them including

    the communitieslike Bhanja, Kurmali, Kora, Bhumija, Kurmi, Bagdi, Lodha, Sadgop,

    Mahato etc. as well as some Muslims as seen from the list of rebels. Most of the rebels were

    the Paiks of the local chiefs under whom some Sardars were employed for maintenance of

    law and order of their respective areas. The Paiks were not salaried staff but they used to

    work under theSardars. In lieu the Paiksused to receive cultivable lands either rent-free or

    by paying marginal rent. Such practice of feudal land tenure system i.e. being compensated

    by cultivable land was seen in that region before the British started forcible introduction of

    the loot- system. The Mughals also didnt opposethis feudal land tenure system and in fact,

    showed leniency because of the wild nature of the region. During the Mughal period, the

    Mughals never poked their noses in the local administration and were happy with the

    payments the chieftains of the region used to pay to the Mughals.

    But trouble brewed when the Zamindars were asked to pay the revenue at an

    enhanced rate which the Zamindars refused outright. In the year 1767, Lieutenant

    Fergusson was appointed by Resident Graham to bring these chiefs around. The

    acquiescence was divided since some didnt oppose paying the higher revenue whereas

    some were dead against such payment. The Zamindar of Ghatsila vehemently protested

    against hiked payments and fighting aggressively against the Fergusson force did not

    succeed in overpowering the British and managed to flee. The British took possession of

    Ghatsila and made Jagannath Dhal, the absconding chiefs(Zamindar / Landlord) brothers

    son presuming that Jagannth Dhal would submit and pay the enhanced revenues. But

    their aspirations proved to be a wet blanket as Jagannath followed his uncles footsteps and

    like his uncle, he too fled to the deep ravines when the British sent after him to recover the

    unpaid revenues. The British again placed somebody else on the throne which made

    Jagannath furious and he revolted against the British. This was a unified effort and

  • 17

    Captain Morgan was taken aback in 1768 to find that instead of a singular attack, the

    whole country was against the British authority equipped with arms.

    The British were again able to restore tranquility, albeit temporarily, after they

    returned the throne of Ghatsila to Jagannath Dhal in the year 1777. But there was a

    repetition of the revolt in Bagri Pargana which was fallout of the company dethroning Jadu

    Singh and placing his son Chhatra Singh in his stead since Jadu Singh had failed to pay

    the enhanced revenue. Instead of feeling happy, it created resentment within Chhatra Singh

    when he saw his father being manhandled by the British and decided to avenge this insult.

    He did so with the help of tribal subjects which incorporated a long spell upto the year 1783

    and technically, in Government papers, this has been described as the first phase of Chuar

    Rebellion.

    The British kept experimenting with the land settlement process resulting in turmoil

    all through the period. During the period from 1777 to 1786, the process continued where

    the chiefs made yearly settlements with the Zamindars. It ceased to be so when Lord

    Cornwallis arrived in India in September, 1786 and the system of decennial settlement was

    introduced by him in the year 1789-90. Before the expiry of its tenure, he made a revision

    and reintroduced the infamous Permanent Settlement. It was a policy meant to extricate the

    Zamindars if they did not agree to pay the enhanced revenue. The onus of the law and order

    of the region lay on the Zamindars which also was a matter of great honour for the

    Zamindars. But with new system coming in, the government took over the responsibility of

    looking after the law and order situation. Since the Zamindars were no longer in charge, the

    livelihoods of the Paiks also started suffering. What the Paiks had enjoyed for so long

    namely the rent-free Paikan land was now subjected to rent at a very high rate. Since the

    existence of both the Zamindars and the Paiks seemed to be threatened, a combined revolt

    broke out. In the words of the then collector, the ancient occupants of the land, without

    having been charged with any crime or misconduct, saw their supposed rights, founded

    upon long possession of them, deliberately invaded in order to provide funds for the charges

    of the police, and at last found themselves either stripped of all their possessions or

    subjected to new demands of rent, which they were incaple of paying. (Part of the report to

    the Board on 25th May 1799).

    The revolution gathered momentum in the western part of Medinipur alongwith other

    districts in the year 1798-99. As per government papers, it has been termed as the second

    phase of the Chuar Rebellion. And in this rebellion Karnagarh, Shiromani, Panchkuri,

    Salboni, Keshpur, Anandapur, Dhalhara, Dharenda, Ramgarh, Silda, Gopiballavpur,

  • 18

    Narajol, Bagri, Chandrakona, Mayna, Jaleswar etc. served as the main outposts of the

    rebels. Gobardhan Dikpati of Bagri, Rani Shiromani of Karnagarh and Durjan Singh of

    Raipur led the revolt. In order to curb the momentum of the revolt, the British force took

    simultaneous steps of toning down human torture as well as bringing about reduction in

    the amount of revenue to be paid on the part of the Zamindars.

    Soon after the district surrendered to the British by a treaty dated 27th September,

    1760, Captain White was entrusted with the job of countering the Marathas with a

    detachment of Europeans and sepoys and some artillery and to hastily bring back the

    situation in the district under control. However,the Maratha chapter stretched for the next

    thirty years and the south-western frontier saw frequent disputes with the Marathas. The

    company reported that the repeated raids by the Marathas became a matter of great

    concern. A Maratha Zamindarnamed Pakra Bhuiya raided and plundered several villages of

    Pargana Naurangachaur in March 1799and repeated the same episode in the following May

    of the same year. The Marathas surrounded the sepoy guards at the villages of Susania and

    Nalpura with the aid of a contingent called Bir Prasad Chaudhuri of Balarampur. The

    Marathas created problems in Patashpur too in the same year. The Maratha possessions in

    Midnapore and the adjoining tracts were at this time under the Fauzdar of Balasore, and to

    guard their interests the East India Company had a resident at Balasore, who also acted as

    Post Master and an agent for Maratha salt. This arrangement continued till the British

    conquest of Orissa in 1803. In September of that year Colonel Fergussons detachment at

    Jaleswar marched towards Balasor, of which they took possession without loss;and at the

    same time a small force occupied Patashpur. But the treaty concluded in the same year, the

    Pargana was ceded to the English with Orissa (quoted from Bengal District Gazetteers:

    Midnapore by L.S.S.OMalley).

    The district of Medinipur had no boundary during the start of the British rule. The

    British changed the boundary of Medinipur several times during the period of 1760-1805.

    The year 1772 saw East India Company constituting a Revenue Committee for facilitation of

    revenue-collection. The Hooghly Collectorate incorporating Tamluk, Mahisadal and Hijli was

    one of the then 13 Collectorates. The Collectorates of Barddhaman and Medinipur were

    constituted in the year 1772-73 during which the Pargana of Jaleswar went to Medinipur.

    Hooghly, Hijli, Mahisadal and Tamluk became parts of the Revenue Council in November

    1773. Barddhaman, Medinipur, Vishnupur, Pachet, Birbhum and Ramgarh were parts of

    the Barddhaman Committee. Bengal got divided into 28 districts in the year 1773 and the

    big districts were sometimes referred to as provinces. Even Medinipur was, at times,

    referred to as;Medinipur Province in the Revenue Records. The districts of Hijli and Tamluk

  • 19

    jointly started being called Nimak Mahal in the year 1780. The year 1787 saw the

    formation of 14 Collectorates. The two large Fiscal Divisions of Tamluk and Mahisadal,

    which had, till then, been the separate jurisdiction of Hooghly were transferred to

    Medinipur on 10th February, 1790. Till the year 1836, Hijli remained a separate

    Collectorate following which it was annexed to Medinipur barring Fiscal Divisions of

    Bhograi, Kumardachaur and Patashpur which had formerly been parts of Hijli. The Fiscal

    Divisions of Bhograi, Kumardachaur and Patashpur were transferred to Orissa district of

    Balasore. Bagri Pargana, as a whole, which had earlier been part of Barddhaman, was

    annexed to Medinipur. After Patashpur, Bhograi and Kamardachaur were separated from

    Orissa, they were annexed to Medinipur in the year 1803. The Jungle Mahal district,

    constituted in 1805 incorporated Chhatna, Barabhum, Supur, Ambikanagar, Simlapal and

    Bhaliadihi which had been taken away from Medinipur and formed parts of Jungle Mahal.

    The year 1806 saw the annexation of Maratha Parganas to Hijli Salt Agency. Almost at the

    end of the 19th century, Medinipur incorporated Chandrakona Fiscal Division by severing it

    from Hooghly.

    developing towns or areas are known as Notified Area Committee. Except Notified Area, the

    councils of all these corporate bodies comprise of elected members of the public through

    adult franchise (citizen of 18 years and above) based on secret ballot. The notified area is

    governed by the state governments through a body nominated by it. Apart from overall

    planning, creation and maintenance of Civil Administration, the primary object of every

    urban local body is to provide certain civic amenities to the people.

    There are 5 municipalities in the district namely Tamluk, Panskura, Haldia, Egra

    Brief Note on Primary Census Abstract

    Introduction: The Indian Census has the reputation of being one of the best in the world. The first Census in India was conducted in the year 1872. This was conducted at different points of time in different parts of the country. In 1881 a Census was taken for the entire country simultaneously. Since then, Census has been conducted every ten years, without a break. Thus, the Census of India 2011 was the fifteenth in this unbroken series since 1872, the seventh after independence and the second census of the third millennium and twenty first century. The census has been uninterruptedly continued despite of several adversities like wars, epidemics, natural calamities, political unrest, etc.

    The Census of India is conducted under the provisions of the Census Act 1948 and the Census Rules, 1990. In Censuses until 1931, a synchronous de-facto method was adopted wherein the Census was conducted throughout the country on a single night. This being a very costly affair and involved the deployment of very large force at one point of time was given up in 1941. Since then the same methodology has been followed in all the Censuses. It is a gigantic operation and considered to be the single largest, complex, peace time administrative exercise in the world.

    The Census Operation in India is carried out in two distinct but inter connected phases - the House listing and Housing Census followed by the Population Enumeration. During the first phase of Census 2011 i.e., House listing and Housing Census, the buildings, census houses and households were identified and systematically listed in the House Listing and Housing Census Schedule during the period April to September, 2010 in different States/Union Territories. Apart from listing of houses, some useful data on the amenities available to the households was also collected for assessing condition of human settlements, housing deficits etc.

    Censuses prior to Census 2001 had the system of collecting the information through Individual Slip which was a key schedule for every individual. The information collected through slip was then compiled for a household. Some information was also collected in addition to this for the household. During 2001 Census a comprehensive Household Schedule was adopted replacing the individual slip concept. In 2011 Census also similar household schedule was used for canvassing. The scope of demographic, socio-economic parameters has been widened in every census.

    2. Population Enumeration - Census 2011: The field work of the second phase i.e. Population Enumeration was carried out during February-March, 2011. One of the essential features of Population Enumeration in the second phase was that each person was enumerated and her/his individual particulars were collected at a well-defined point of time.

  • 29

    The Census moment and the reference date for the Census of India 2011 was 00:00 hours of 1st March, 2011. The enumeration was conducted from 9th February to 28th February, 2011 along with a revisional round from 1st March, 2011 to 5th March, 2011 synchronously all over the country except for few specific areas of the Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand states that remain snowbound in February. In these locations the population enumeration was done from 11th September, 2010 to 30th September, 2010 along with a revisional round from 1st October, 2010 to 5th October, 2010. The reference date for the census in snow bound non-synchronous areas of these states was 00.00 hours of the first day of October, 2010. In addition to the coverage during House listing & Housing Census, the enumeration of the Houseless population was carried out on the night of 28th February, 2011, as has been the usual practice. For the purpose of Census, certain areas where the access of the civilian enumerators was not permissible due to security reasons termed as Special Charges such as the Defence and strictly Military/Para-Military areas, including operational areas were also covered. Such areas were not covered during the House listing & Housing Census. In addition to the defence/para-military areas, Special Charges also included certain factory areas, certain colonies, sensitive areas, scientific establishments, etc. These also formed Special Charges as these were not accessible by the usual census enumerator.

    3. Quality Assurance: A Task Force for Quality Assurance (TFQA) functioned under the chairmanship of the RG & CCI. Experienced officers of the different divisions of the organization i.e. Heads and senior officers of the Census Division, Data Processing Division, Map Division, Demography Division and Social Studies Division comprised the TFQA. The Directors of Census Operations were co-opted as members whenever the TFQA discussed the data for their States/Union territories. The main objective of constituting the TFQA was to subject the data to stringent validation checks and ensure its quality before release as it was expedient to be satisfied itself about the quality of data before putting the same in public domain.

    The Directors and their senior officers were involved at all levels with respect to the quality and the coverage of their states/Uts. The TFQA intensively scrutinized coverage and content parameters including edit and imputation logic. The most important aspect of the data quality was to ensure complete coverage of all geographical areas especially for the population enumeration phase where the data is disseminated right up to the village level in the rural areas and the ward level in the urban areas. Thus ensuring the complete coverage and correct geographical linkage of each enumeration block was one of the major planks of the quality control, especially for small area population statistics. The content was scrutinized mainly through the process of internal consistency, comparison with similar data in the past and also through validation with likewise data if available, from external sources. Quite often the local knowledge and perception was looked at to understand both the existing and the new emerging trends of

  • 30

    population distribution and characteristics. A very comprehensive check and edit mechanism was put in place to objectively examine the preliminary Census 2011 Population Enumeration results and finally clear them for use. The population data was cleared only after the full possible satisfaction of the TFQA.

    The entire work relating to the data validation and scrutiny was completed by all the States/Union territories under the overall supervision and monitoring of the Census Division of the Office of the Registrar General, India with active cooperation and support of the Social Studies Division, Data Processing Division, Data Dissemination Division and Map Division.

    4. Primary Census Abstract: The Primary Census Abstract which is important publication of 2011 Census gives basic information on Area, Total Number of Households, Total Population, Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes Population, Population in the age group 0-6, Literates, Main Workers and Marginal Workers classified by the four broad industrial categories, namely, (i) Cultivators, (ii) Agricultural Labourers, (iii) Household Industry Workers, and (iv) Other Workers and also Non-Workers. The characteristics of the Total Population include Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Institutional and Houseless Population and are presented by sex and rural-urban residence.

    In 1981 census main workers were presented into four categories. As regards 1991 Census, the nine-fold industrial classification of main workers has been given in the Primary Census Abstract. One of the important features of the Primary Census Abstract of 1991 Census was the presentation of population of the age group 0-6 which is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census. All the children of age 6 years or less have been treated as illiterate even if the child is going to a school and may have picked up reading and writing. This will help the data users in better analysis and understanding of the literacy data as the literacy rate is calculated with 7 years and above population and it is referred as effective literacy rate. In 2001 and 2011 census four categories of main workers have been given in the Primary Census Abstract.

    5. Level of Presentation of PCA data in District Census Handbooks: The format of Primary Census Abstract (PCA) adopted in the DCHB of 2001 Census has been continued for 2011 Census as the data on four categories of works have been presented similar to 2001 census. The Primary Census Abstract data in different PCAs are presented at different levels. The level of presentation of Primary Census Abstracts in DCHB is as under:

  • 31

    1. District Primary Census Abstract -District/C.D. Block/Town. 2. Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Castes- District/C.D. Block/Town. 3. Primary Census Abstract for Scheduled Tribes -District/C.D. Block/Town. 4. Village Primary Census Abstract -C.D. Block/Village wise. 5. Urban Primary Census Abstract- Town/Ward level.

    The PCA Data for villages was presented C.D. Block wise for the first time in

    1991 Census. This practice is continued in 2001 and 2011 Census. The term Total Population includes the Scheduled Castes, the Scheduled Tribes, the Institutional and the Houseless populations. An appendix to District Primary Census Abstract has also been furnished showing urban enumeration block-wise particulars on Total Population, the Scheduled Castes Population and the Scheduled Tribes Population for each town. 6. Area Figures: The area figures supplied by local revenue authorities of the district in respect of tahsils, Police Stations and by the local bodies in respect of towns are given in square kilometers.
