India history and geography
Thara refers to the traditional language of the Tharua tribe—an endogamous community inhabiting northern Odisha, mainly in the Balasore district. They are sub-divided into two subgroups i.e. Tharua Bindhani and Tharua Kumbhar. The Tharua Bindhani are also known as Jhadua Bindhani and Chapua Bindhani. They are called Tharua as they speak a language called “Thara”– an admixture of Odia and Hindi. In fact, the terminologies like, Jhadua, Chapua and Tharua are one and the same which are given to them by their neighbours. The Tharua do not like to be called as Tharua. Rather they boast of their status being Aryan. Constitutionally, they are a Scheduled Tribe. [...]
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
