History is "the record of what one age finds worthy of note in another", said Burckhardt. Present has always preponderance over the past. Change and continuity shape the history of any land. Keeping these cardinal principles in view, the present volume in honour of a great scholar in History, Professor Ram Chandro Misro, has been designed. This book, Facets of Odishan History contains twenty one articles which deal with a wide spectrum of subjects - political, social, economic, religious, etc. This work is a splendid collection of research articles contributed by distinguished scholars having bearings on Odishan history and culture. A novel attempt has been made by them to retook into various facets of Odishan history. This work will open new horizons in Odishan historiography. It will be a great help to the students and scholars who are pursuing research on Odishan history and culture. This work is, in fact, a befitting tribute to Professor Ram Chandro Misro, an erudite scholar par excellence in History.
