Bhubaneswar: The fourth edition of Odisha Manaska, organized by All Things Odisha, convened a diverse group of participants at the Safe Odisha for Her (SFH) headquarters to discuss the themeMaritime History and the Construction of Odia Identity.
Bhubaneswar: Identity is transient, nonlinear, and multifaceted—a mosaic of experiences, histories, and imaginations. When discussing Odia identity, it’s essential to look beyond inherited traditions and explore its evolving nature within a diverse state like Odisha, where people of various castes, faiths, and communities coexist.
This was the central theme at the first Odisha Manaska: Odisha on My Mind circle, hosted by All Things Odisha, which took place on Saturday evening at the In-Between Centre in Palaspali. The event, attended by individuals from different age groups and backgrounds, focused on redefining what it means to be Odia in today’s world.
