"The thesis "Resistance to the British the Role of Mohuri Zamindari in South Orissa (1767-1850)" focused on the resistance movement of the people of South Orissa against the British and highlighted the socio-economic condition and the cultural heritage of South Orissan people. It is a milestone in the annals of Orissan history. The contribution of the author, Dr. B.N. Das to mediaeval history of India and regional history of Orissa is matchless and unparallel. The materials have been collected from Tamilnadu State Archives, Cannemera Library of Madras and National Library of Calcutta, from personal collections and journals. This thesis is a beacon light and an eye-opener for the students, the researchers and the general readers." (jacket)
