Abstract:

Undivided Midnapore district was the largest district in Bengal Province and India in terms of population during the colonial period. The total area of Midnapore district was 11,044 square kilometers. Later, on January 1, 2002, this district was divided into two parts. The eastern part of the district was known as East Midnapore and the western part as West Midnapore. East Midnapore has an area of 4736 square kilometers and West Midnapore has an area of 6308 square kilometers. Again, a decade ago, on April 1, 2017, Jhargram district was formed from West Midnapore district, including some parts, including Jhargram, Binpur, and Gopiballabhpur. That is, the undivided Midnapore district of the colonial period was divided and has now become three districts. But the main purpose of my article is to present a description of the changing population of the undivided Midnapore district of the Bengal province during the colonial period. In this study, I have used the Indian Census report as my primary material. Based on that, a clear numerology of the Kaibartta tribe will emerge in this article.
