[edit]

The earlier construction of the Article has been horribly p.o.v. and factually incorrect, tending to mislead. The article, it seems, has been created with a sole intention to attract attention. Article lacks neutrality and requires serious editing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pdipu (talk • contribs) 16:22, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plenty of information, but I think it should be split up into separate pages and maybe filed under its own subdivision. MeenSuup (talk) 16:30, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I also think there is material for several articles here. The section on saree making for instance. (It needs sources, however.) --Bonadea (talk) 17:44, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article need some editing and not deletion. It does not provoke any separatist movement. Rather it propagate the unique culture and heritage of Kosal Region which is solely separate from the culture and tradition of Orissa or Eastern Orissa. Kosal region is also synonymic to Sambalpuri or Sambalpurr thats why there is no issue of deletion arises. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.163.185.201 (talk) 11:27, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]



Article seems to have been compiled of material gleaned from various existing external web-sites. -- soft dynamite (talk) 18:45, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What I find here is simple lifting of information from other web-sites. The deletion of copy-righted material have been undone by IP addresses 121.247.80.129 (Location-Chennai, India- ISP:TCS:Tata Consultancy Services),61.95.184.98 (Location - Chennai, India, ISP: TCS), and 121.245.126.118 (ISP:TCS/TTS). Though it may not have any relevane to the article or its contents, it seems that a certain user named Satyajit Nayak has also been associated with similar I.P addresses/ISP(TCS) and admittedely, with organisation TCS - a leading I.T. co. of India. This user seems have taken up an activist stance towards the 'Independence' of 'Koshal Region', which is apparent from the user page Satyajit Nayak. Possible vandalism and eccentric editing in terms of undoing of proper edits may be suspected. -- soft dynamite (talk) 16:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Anandsagardash (talk) 08:40, 16 July 2008 (UTC) Like Rome, a city based kingdom, Sambalpur was too. And the "Sambalpur" name doesn't only represent present day's Sambalpur district or Sambalpur city. Before independence a larger geographical area from central province of British India brought under Orissa Division. And the geographical area was comprising present day's districts of Jharsuguda,Sambalpur,Deogarh,Bargarh, Subarnapur, Balangr, Nuapada and Kalahandi. British administration recognised these parts as Sambalpur District for their administrative purpose and stationed a assistant commissioner in Sambalpur town. Later these area along with some more districts formed the Northern division in independent India with headquarter in Sambalpur city. "Sambalpuri" is the prime language for day to day communication in these part of orissa state along with Sundargarh and Boud districts and Athamallik sub-division of Anugul district. Sambalpuri language has a larger presence in neighboring state of Chattishgarh too. In Mahasamund,Raigarh,Jashpur,Raipur districts of Chattishgarh, there are many speakers in Sambalpuri language. Now a days,Sambalpuri language has a dominating presence in digital media in eastern region of India through its rhythmic, vibrant folk as well as modern music. It is popular through entire orissa,Chattishgarh and Jharkhand state. This is the only language from orissa which has cross border presence in day to day communication as well as in entertainment.[reply]

Sambalpuri language is going through a transforming phase. So many writers, poets are writing various articles , subjects in Sambalpuri literature. The epic Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagvat Geeta are already published in this language and available in the market. It has a bigger and rich vocabulary than the state language Oriya. The grammer and vocubulary books are already published in this language. Sambalpuri vocabulary is totally different from that of Oriya, which gives it a distinct language status. There is no grammatical relation between Sambalpuri and Oriya.Sambalpuri has Aryan origin like Sanskrit and Hindi where as Oriya comes under Dravidian family. The Govt. run Sambalpur University has started a Post graduate study programme in Sambalpuri studies. Also, the Govt. run All India Radio (AIR) and Door Darshan have recognised the potential and popularity of this language and have provided slots for airing programme in Sambalpuri. So, with out any doubt, few people doing cultural invasion upon us to erase our identity, language and cultural practice by assimilating with them. I request the moderators to kindly consider our concern and take appropriate action to wards fake ids like soft dynamite and Pdipu.

-- soft dynamite (talk) 19:25, 16 July 2008 (UTC) Anandsagardash (talk) 08:48, 16 July 2008 (UTC)I strongly recommend not deleting such a great collection of articles related to our place, people, language and culture. And urge the moderators to take punitive action towards ids such as soft dynamite and Pdipu for creating unnecessary confusion by giving improper information about our place. We know our place better than any outsider.[reply]

Hello Softdynamite.The website which you are talking about formerly www.koshalbasi.com was co-owned by me and all the contents available in that website was written by me after years of research . Now the website has been renamed as www.nuakhaibhet.info.So the issue of copyright doesnot arise here because I am the Original author of all those informations.Same for the other official nic websites you have mentioned.You can visit any local NIC office in Bargarh,Balangir and Kalahandi and ask them who compiled those pages in their website, they will say my name. So don't waste you energy here trying to delete this page.Satyajit Nayak (talk) 14:11, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

KOSAL is the Historical name of entire western Orissa region,History has sufficient proof of it,There are lots of cultural and lingual difference between Coastal people and KOSALI people,Due to poltical inability and negligence of KATKIA(Coastal people) ministers and bureaucrats,they always trying to suppresses the rich culture and heritage of KOSAL.But we the KOSAlIA(Typical Western orissa People ) are ready to fight for our Culture and Heritage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sahubabloo (talk • contribs) 13:42, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment moved here from the article

[edit]

NOTE:Content provided on this page is good. But it hurts the sentiments of masses of western Orissa. The separatist movement failed because most people in western orissa don't like the movement. Some political party still making politics over the issue, just to take banifit out of it. Such politically motivated views should not be here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 15.203.233.76 (talk • contribs) 09:21, August 30, 2008 (UTC)

New title?

[edit]

Yesterday, I have created a page named Kosal/Koshal. But you have redirected it to the page Sambalpuri region. Sambalpur is a district of KOSAL area. Some one has created this page (Sambalpuri region) and using it for Kosal. Although it contains some facts about Kosal it is confusing and diluting the value of Kosal region.

I request you to help me to create a separate page for Kosal state. — Skarmee (via e-mail).

If you want a separate article, why on earth did you blank Kosal/Koshal? This caused it to be deleted. It certainly seems rather confusing for the article to have one title and then immediately use a different name for the region. We have had an edit war over the title for this article with Kosali/Sambalpuri and Sambalpuri "Kosali" Culture having been tried. I would like to see a consensus on this discussion page before any move is made.
Miscellaneous suggestions:
  • in the mean time tidy up this article to make clear the difference between the region Western Orissa and the municipality Sambalpur
  • review associated articles: Sambalpur, Kosala and Kosala Kingdom to make sure that they also make the distictions clear
  • note that we do not do double-barrelled titles such as Kosal/Koshal. We have a single title plus a redirect
  • as a say, wait for consensus before moving the article and above all do not attempt to change the title by copy&paste. If you cannot do a move, ask me or any other admin to do the move.

I will set the ball rolling by proposing a new title of Western Orissa. Skarmee, if you do not want a redirect at Kosal, what would you like to see on that title? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 11:26, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New Title Kosal State

[edit]

Could you please change the main title from Sambalpuri region to Western Orissa. I want to have a separate page for Kosal state. Some times people loosely call Kosal as Sambalpuri area. But that is not true. I can not call Katkia to all the people of Coastal Orissa. If you like to have a look, I can send you a study on Kosal state. Please help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skarmee (talk • contribs) 11:42, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New title Western Orissa

[edit]

For Sambalpuri region, you can put the title western Orissa. But please do not redirect Kosal to western orissa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Skarmee (talk • contribs) 11:58, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From the map we can not say the real difference. Proposed Kosal is western Orissa. But the Sambalpuri region article is not about western Orissa. Please have a look on http://www.wodcorissa.org/. The map of proposed Kosal in Sambalpuri region is not correct as it does not include Athmallik. It is not in the Table as well. Athmallik is an integral part of Kosal. -- (Skarmee (talk) 14:26, 11 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Please have a look on some more points in User:Skarmee/sandbox. -- (Skarmee (talk) 14:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Please don't misunderstand me. I am new in Wiki. The map should have part of Anugul district particularly the Athamallik area. As I said earlier the Sambalpuri region article should be separated in to two part as "Proposed Kosal state" and other ones (Sambalpuri and western Orissa). In case you don't want to do that, please replace Sambalpuri region as Proposed Kosal state (western Orissa). Then we can try to edit it.-(Skarmee (talk) 10:55, 12 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]

  • An article "Proposed Kosal state" seems fine. But what are these "other ones (Sambalpuri and western Orissa)"? What would go in this article? Surely Sambalpuri and Western Orissa are part of a proposed Kosal state? — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 11:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • OK, I have just moved Sambalpuri Region to Western Orissa over redirect. The Western Orissa Development Council exists - that seems very strong precedent for the new title. If at some time in the future, a new state is created and that state is called Kosal, then we can move the article again. But for the moment I submit that Kosal/Kosala/Koshal are merely proposed names. Of course we note these proposed names and create redirects but I do not think any of them has the right to be the main title. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 11:23, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How many?

[edit]

Even the WODC seems confused. Their home page says "ten Western Orissa districts lag" … But the map lists eleven districts! — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 11:23, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ten and half

[edit]

It has 10 districts and part of Anugul district. I agree with you. WODC site is also confusing. Sambalpuri is a term loosely used for the proposed Kosal state. I think part of the article can be transferred to Sambalpur. Most of the proposed state in India has separate page except Kosal. I have created a page called Kosal state movement. I need to have a clear picture about it. (Skarmee (talk) 11:32, 12 August 2009 (UTC))[reply]

New title: Koshal region

[edit]
  • Hello RHaworth,

I do not know. I thought of contacting you as you have changed the title to western Orissaand put a merger tag in Kosal state movement. There is a lot of political developments happening now. See:http://kddf.wordpress.com/category/demand-of-koshal-state/. So I think the title should be Koshal region. Skarmee (talk) 08:41, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The title of this article should be "Koshal Region" or "Koshalanchal"."Koshalanchal" is more appropriate because this term is known to local people. Koshalanchal is a term used by all Odia daily news papers. RUdgata (talk) 11:25, 29 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are many leading news agency of India like PTI, IANS, CNN-IBN, India Today etc. are reporting about the things happening in western Orissa or Koshal region. I would say Mr. Satyajit Nayak has done a good job by collecting all these articles in one page. Therefore, refrain from threatening and abusing others.

Confusion about western Orissa and Hirakhand

[edit]
  • Before deleting the word Hirakhand you could have asked for ref. by providing a ref. tag. Any way, Western Orissa is referred to as Hirakhand is already mentioned in the Article under Chauhan Dynasty in the History chapter. Further reference can be found in pages 1 & 148 of the book Sambalpur Itihas, written by Siba Prasad Dash and published by Orissa Sahitya Akademi, Bhubaneswar, 3rd edition, 2002 (ISBN 81 7586 083 9) and in page 4 of the book Dakshina Kosala (Pashima Odisha) Sankshipta Itihas, written by Dr. Bibhuti Bhusan Mishra and published in 2003 by Maneka Prakashan, Sambalpur. Further more, Indian Railway runs a train named Hirakhand express (Train No: 8447/8448) which presently runs between Bhubaneswar and Jagdalpur, which can be verified from http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/indianrailways/directorate/coaching/pdf/Train%20Name%20index.pdf. When the train was introduced, it was running between Rourkela and Bhubaneswar via Jharsuguda, Titlagarh, Rayagada, Vizianagaram and Berhampur i.e. it was passing through entire Western Orissa. Later, When the Howrah - Sambalpur Samleswari express train was extended to Koraput, the Hirakhand express ran between Koraput and Bhuabaneswar. Subsequently Hirakhand express was extended from Koraput to Jagdalpur. Moreover, “Hirakhand” is a specific, unique and non ambiguous name of Western Orissa. I think, now I have provided sufficient reference regarding Hirakhand. In case, U r convinced with these references, then plz revert back Hirakhand, which you have deleted. K arundhati (talk) 14:10, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • See Sambalpur. It is mentioned that "Sambalpur had also been known as 'Hirakhanda' meaning 'Land of Diamond', in the past Sambalpur was famous for diamond mining and trade. Even now, the adjoining areas yield a large volume of semi precious stones."You are mixing history of Sambalpur with Kosal.Skarmee (talk) 08:29, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • The confusion about Hirakhand is due to few historian who has tried to give their own interpretation without evidence, one needs to be careful while reading history book written by culturally affiliated people, there was a Samaleswari express, so a train in the name of Hirakhand does not imply whole region. I have not found any concrete evidence was there any kingdom called Hirakhand? Loosely Hirakhand is associated with Sambalpur region and not western Orissa, few historian from Sambalpur region had tried to impose Hirakhand on whole western Orissa like few tried to impose Sambalpuri to rest of western orissa region. Hirakhand, Kantara, Mahakantara etc are part of Western Orissa but they are not whole Western Orissa of present days. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Digpatra (talk • contribs) 10:20, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ref provided by me is clear cut, nothing confusing about it. Have gone thro websites mentioned by User:Skarmee, found nothing to substantiate his contention. Moreover, websites mentioned are not reliable. As far as “Hirakhand” is concerned, to know, what “Sambalpur” stands for, plz move up a couple of lines in this page and see what Anandsagardash says under the subheading “Comments” on dt.16.7.2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by K arundhati (talk • contribs) 18:00, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • A third person will say which are reliable references and which are not. I am not sure your comment is correct as I found no reference on the web about Hirakhand. There are plenty of reference available about Kosal. There was no kingdom called Hirakhand. However, people used to called Sambalpur as Hirakhand as this area was famous for precious stones. Provide some good link to your statements.Skarmee (talk) 07:27, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • As user: Digpatra writes on dt.21.11.2010 under the sub heading “Kosal_ misinterpreted”, that Kosal Kranti Dal is fighting for a separate Kosal state, so Western Orissa should be named Kosal. My contention is that, just like Kosal Kranti Dal, an organization named “Hirakhand Mukti Morcha” (HMM) is also fighting for a separate Hirakhand state comprising ten districts of Western Orissa, so we should call it “Hirakhand”.

Help

[edit]

If people want special recognition for Koshli language then all are welcome,due to some political pressure it is neglected,no marriage procession runs without Rangabati in KATAKIA'S marriage or without Sambalpuri,Sonepuri Patta.If anybody wants separate state then take Puri in that as Jagannath belongs to Western Orissa.I think editors will understand my point(Sanshlistha m (talk) 17:42, 17 November 2010 (UTC))[reply]

Kosal _ misinterpreted

[edit]
  • Western Orissa has been wrongly depicted as Kosal. As is evident from the talk page, naming Western Orissa as Kosal was duly rejected in the past.

As noted above under the sub heading “Confusion about western Orissa and Hirakhand”, user: Digpatra mentioned on dt.17.11.2010, that Hirakhand, Kantara, Mahakantara etc are parts of Western Orissa and Hirakhand is associated with Sambalpur region. User: Skarmee also expressed on dt.15.11.2010, by citing some websites, that Sambalpur was known as “Hirakhand”. The wikipage: Kalahandi district mentions that, in ancient time Kalahandi dist. was known as Mahakantara, Chakrakota Mandala, Kamala Mandala and Karonda Mandala. If we consider all these, then Sambalpur region was Hirakhand, Kalahandi region was Mahakantara, then which region was Kosal? Was it only the dist. of Balangir and Sonepur? Thus, we can conclude that all the ten districts of Western Orissa taken together did not constitute Kosal. K arundhati (talk) 10:32, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Around 6th century A.D. whole Western Orissa was part of South Kosal, all historian have unanomously accepetd it. Even Somavansi was ruling large parts of Western Orissa in the name of Kosal (Viceroy). There was no kingdom called Hirakhand which was perhaps casually referred to Sambalpur region in 18th century whereas Mahakantara/Kantara name were of ancient origin (before 500 A.D.). Sonepur and Balangir do have anicient history like Karol and part of Mahakantara. Beside history, Kosal term is being already politically used in modern sense for Western Orissa. There is a political party name Kosal Kranti Dal who is fighting for separate Kosal state comprising Western Orissa. There are many organization in the name of Kosal for Western Orissa in modern days, though historical reference is not very clear and consistent, but generally Kosal is accepted for Western Orissa region. On the other hand Hirakhand is used for Sambalpur region. Ananda Sagar's comment in 2008 seems to be imposing Sambalpur term to all Western Orissa region which is controversial these days and challenged by many people.Digpatra (talk) 19:48, 21 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Dear K arundhati .First of all I appreciate you contribution towards the richness of this article but am not convinced about certain changes made by you..Before creating this article in 2007 I went through many books related to western orissa like the District Gazzattes of all the district,Kosala itihas,Patna Itihas,etc and It has been clearly mentioned in all the books that Western Orissa region along with Chattisgarh were earlier known as Dakhina Kosala and even before that from the Ramayana times also this part of India was referred to as Kosala or Kosal..So we can conclude that Kosal is synonymous to Western Orissa region from thousand of centuries..But never ever in history whole western orissa was reffered to as Hirakhanda..If you can read the Dist Gazzette book of Sambalpur then It has been clearly mentioned that Sambalpur and the areas nearby the Mahanadi basin were known as Hirakhanda and that too not officially.Sambalpur was never officially named as Hirakhanda.This word gain popularity only during the Maratha rule..Therefore I feel Hirakhand word does not represent the whole Western Orissa, rather it represent Sambalpur,Jharsuguda and parts of Bargarh. Satyajit Nayak (talk) 07:16, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I find that, User: Satyajit Nayak had done a commendable job by creating the article “Sambalpuri region” on the Dt.13.11.2007. Hat’s off to him. At the insistence of user: Skarmee, the name of the article was changed to “Western Orissa” on the Dt.12.8.2009. Although he was pressing for the name Kosal, it was duly rejected. User Skarmee seems to be allergenic about Sambalpur and Sambalpuri. He seems to be so much obsessed with the name Kosal and Kosali that he can not tolerate any other name. Anyway the article could survive, despite attempts of sabotage by some users.

We must note when, User: Satyajit Nayak says Western Orissa region along with Chattisgarh were earlier known as Dakhina Kosala, which implies that Western Orissa alone was not Dakshina Kosala. If, it was not even Dakshin Kosal (South Kosal), how can it be full Kosal? It is confusing, when in the same tone he arbitrarily says that “from Ramayana times this part of India was referred to as Kosala or Kosal”. To know which part in the Ramayana times constituted Kosal, one is requested to see Kosala Kingdom.

I find user: Digpatra reasonable enough, when he admits by saying that “though historical reference is not very clear and consistent but generally Kosal is accepted for Western Orissa region” He further says that.” Around 6th century A.D. whole Western Orissa was part of South Kosal”. Thus, Western Orissa alone was not even South Kosal, what to talk about Kosal. To know the region that represented Kosal in History, one is requested to see Kosala.

Thus, we come to the conclusion that, depicting Western Orissa as Kosal is a misnomer and for that matter, naming the language of Western Orissa as Kosali is absurd. K arundhati (talk) 13:14, 30 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
