[Tribal organisation.] 2. The Mirzapur Dhângars say that the Munda Kols, the Khariyas [294] of Chota Nâgpur, the Guriyas, Dhângars and Urâin or Orâon are all endogamous divisions of the same race. They name eight exogamous septs, most or all of which are certainly of totemistic origin. Thus Ilha is said to mean a kind of fish which this sept does not eat: Kajur is the name of a jungle herb which members of this sub-division do not use: Tirik, which is possibly the same as the Tirki or bull sept of the Orâons. In Chota Nâgpur members of this sept cannot touch any cattle after their eyes open. [295] On the other hand, Colonel Dalton describes the Tirki sub-division as prohibited from eating young mice (tirki). [296] The Lakara sub-division, which is apparently identical with that called Lakrar among the Orâons, who must not eat tiger’s flesh, [297] derive their name in Mirzapur from the hyæna (lakar bagha), which they will not hunt or kill. The Bara sept, who are evidently the same as the Barar of the Orâons, who will not eat from the leaves of the Bar tree (Ficus Indica), in Mirzapur will not cut this tree. The Ekka sept in Mirzapur say that the name means “leopard,” which they will not kill. In Chota Nâgpur the same word is said to mean “tortoise,” and to be a totemistic sept of Orâons. This is the Ekhar sept in Colonel Dalton’s list. [298] The Tiga sept, in Mirzapur, say they take their name from a jungle root of that name which they will not eat: but the Orâon Dhângars of Bhâgalpur have a Tig sept which they say means “monkey.” [299] The last of the Mirzapur septs is Khâha, which they say means “crow,” a bird which they respect and will not injure. This is evidently the same as the Khakhar sept of Orâons, who will not eat the crow. [300] From all this the identity of the Mirzapur Dhângars with the Bengal Orâons is conclusively established. At the same time the diverging significance of these totemistic titles within a limited area is interesting. The Census lists supply a much more Hinduised set of sections including the Beldâr, Belwâr, Benbansi, Janwâr, Jhuar, Panwâr, and Sribâstam.
