Vizagapatam. Para 2: “From a reference to the correspondence regarding the Parlákimedi dispute, the boundary between Jeypore and Parlákimedi (both as respects the Serangho and the Gumma Muttás) was marked out by Messrs. Grahame and MacCartie, following certain strongly marked natural features – and this boundary was approved, except that it was decided that certain villages, on the Jeypore side of the proposed boundary, should continue under Gumma, as heretofore.”

former Ganjam and Koraput districts and agencies of the Madras Presidency, where border lines were defined around 1870 to 1890 in many parts. This administrative measure was in- tended to define Zamindari boundaries and the exact territory alloted to certain forms of local administration under the Zamindars of the region as well as the boundaries of the districts and zillahs of British India in remote areas. With this administrative measure revenue administra- tion and judicial services were to be set upon a more rational footing. This survey was the basis upon which revenue maps containing the Zamindari boundaries were subsequently issued as an amendment to the existing survey maps.

The border surveys were intended to provide information to district courts and the higher revenue administration in order to assure just treatment of villagers. Such surveys were in- tended to reduce administrative errors, such as a village being taxed twice by neighbouring local rulers (called Bissoyis or Patros), both claiming the village to be situated in their muthah (revenue unit), or by a Zamindar and his subordinate.

Despite these intentions, the new border lines also created new problems. Old rights to grazing grounds on fallow land were overlooked and property from which the produce was to be shared between villages was deemed – often arbitrarily – to belong to one side of the new border exclusively. Wet rice fields on terraces in non-perennial streams proved to be especially difficult cases for the surveyors in need of very much sought after “strongly marked natural features” . Since streams in hilly areas were often the only appropriate features, they were

²

frequently used as borders, disregarding the fact that their beds produced a large portion of the grain needed in the adjacent settlements for food and tax levies. This led to claims to the revenue from these fields either by the local tax farmer or traditional village head on both sides, and further prolonged court suits and armed conflicts between the local chiefs and their retainers. In such cases, the inhabitants of the villages in question bore the expense of the dispute.

The material listed comprises records from the District Records at the Orissa State Ar-

chives from the undivided Ganjam and Koraput Districts, regarding border disputes, both in

their boundaries from 1936, and some material on adjacent Zamindaries in Madras Presicency

and the Princely State of Bastar. Further material from the southern parts of the Ganjam Dis-

trict and those parts of the Visagapatam District and Agency which came under Madras in
