Oriya Movement
Oriya Movement- Oriyas with a separate language and separate literature sought to have a separate geographical unit by amalgation of Oriya speaking tracts of Bengal, MadhyaPradesh and Madras Provinces. The Oriya movement was spearheaded by many associations, particularly by Utkala Sammilani, by many periodicals and newspapers and by eminent personalities like Madhusudhan Das .Language agitation was the first attempt of this movement. It came to an end with the establishment of the separate state of Orissa in 1936.
