India history and geography

Til refers to certain “oil-seeds” cultivated by the Sounti: a small tribe in Odisha, distributed mainly in the district of Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj.—[Regarding their livelihood]: The Sounti are primarily agriculturists and their economic life revolves around farming and allied pursuits. Paddy is their major crop which they raise in their low lands. In their highlands they produce ragi and other minor millets like kosla, kangu and janna etc., pulses like kulthi (horse gram), biri (black gram), mung (green gram) arhar and oil-seeds like til, mustard etc. In their kitchen gardens they raise maize, chilli and varieties of vegetables. Most of them are poor marginal farmers and share croppers. They engage themselves in different pursuits like wage earning both in agricultural and construction sectors to earn their livelihood. Their women and children contribute substantially to their family economy by collection of minor forest produce, fuel woods etc. They also domesticate cows, goats and fowls. They occasionally practise hunting and fishing in nearest rivers and nals.
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.
