Karunda - The Valour of Nagas

K?runda: The Valour of N?gas uncovers the forgotten legacy of India’s ancient N?ga dynasties focusing on their role in shaping Indian history especially in Odisha. The author Kumar Mihirendra Pratap Singh Deo challenges mainstream historical narratives highlighting the real contributions of rulers like Emperor Lalitaditya Muktapida and the maritime power of the Kalinga N?gas. Backed by archaeological evidence and epic references the book asserts the historicity of events from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. At its heart is the story of K?runda (Madanpur Rampur) where brave N?ga kings resisted Maratha and British forces. Through detailed research inscriptions and oral history the book restores the pride of a dynasty long overshadowed emphasising that the true history of Odisha cannot be told without K?runda and its rulers.
