Check the official video of the Orissa tourism department.....This video is produced by the Dept. of Tourism Orissa Govt........
And to our surprise they have not mentioned a single place from Kosal (western Orissa) region....
In the whole video you can see Konark,puri,chilika,lingaraj,Ratnagiri,Dhauli and some tribal dance from southern orissa districts etc...but you will not find a single clip of any tourist place from kosal region.....Don't you call it biased ???
Sambalpuri Saree,sambalpuri dance,ghumura,hirakud dam,harishankar,nrusinghanath,samaleswari temple,chousath jogini temple at ranipur-jharial and the list is long enough to post here...still not a single clip from any of the above places.....This is what i call sick colonial mentality of Orissa govt.....
They simply forgot that there is a region called Kosal (so called Western orissa) and there is a culture called Kosali or Sambalpuri Culture.....
Honestly...we can't do anything other than watching it and accepting it whole heartedly as we are doing for the last 7 decades ..
