Abstract
Cooch Behar has been transformed from an earlier kingdom to a State and from
a State to the present status of a district. By colonial intervention (1772) the state was
transformed into a quasi-feudal State. Several settlements had occurred by the East-India
Company in the consecutive years. It fabricated a new social order in terms of caste
hierarchies and caste differences. A group of people who migrated from the adjacent state
of Cooch Behar to hold the lease of Land as well as administrative posts. This phenomenon
created a complexity in the society where the best parts of Rajbashi were marginalized.
