However, I have a question striking my mind always if "Darmes" is really the word that we Oraons should use. I feel this word came about after Christianity and I feel there is some suitable word for Religion and God in Oraon. And you know................. Life is beautiful. It is more beautiful when one can sing in a sweet voice. If people of same group talk different languages, it brings chaos and confusion. Yes, I am the Secretary of the organization Kurukh Kunji (Kurukh Development Society) and we are tuning our voices to be sweet to sing the songs and say the words our forefathers used. How nerve touching will it be when everyone we meet would talk Oraon. Language brings freedom. The article is needs pat and it is wonderful.

Once Oraons lived in Rohtas plateau may be true but many researchers have indicated that Oraons, Mundas and Kharias were integeral part of Indus and Harappan civilization. At the end of these great Civilization and during Aryan invasion, we were forced to flee to avoid slavery and persucution by Aryans. In Chotanagpur area one may find oraons villages not only in vicinity of Mundas but also with Kharias. It is interesting to note that even in Europian countries you will find people using title of Bara, Barwa and Barla etc. It indicates that people had also fled to Western countries. There is many common words Oraons used in Tamil language as well. Oraons are also found in Banladesh as well. It may be that due to lack of communication they might have lost the contact with their original groups and have adopted a custom or language of the area where they settled down over a period of time. It is also interesting to note that many of our traditions are found with people living in Garwal regions. Being a oraon, I developed a interest to know about our origin.
