The Kurukh or Oraons are the tribals of Chota Nagpur Plateau. Oraon appears to have been assigned to them as a nickname by their masters, possibly with reference to their many migrations and proneness to roam, however, they prefer to be called Kurukhar.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“Not many people know that.”
—Michael Caine [Maurice Joseph Micklewhite] (b. 1933)
“It is not a piece of fine feminine Spitalfields silk—but is of the horrible texture of a fabric that should be woven of ships’ cables & hausers. A Polar wind blows through it, & birds of prey hover over it. Warn all gentle fastidious people from so much as peeping into the book—on risk of a lumbago & sciatics.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
