Litipara SOURYA PAHARIA population is 10441 by totalling those surveyed in the TRI study . However villages known to me such as Loharbani, Parwabheta, (I was posted as doctor for Khambi and for these villages too) Satia, Bich Pahar and Kisbhitta are missing.
(http://www.trijharkhand.org.in/Survey_reports/PTG/BLOCK%20WISE%20PTG/block_wise_part2/PAKUR.htm) Basic Data Sheet District Pakaur * (10), Scheduled Tribes (Largest three) 1.Santhal 266,066 2.Mal Pahariya 29,083 3.Sauria Paharia 8,252 - this last figure (given the TRI figure of over 10,000 Sauria Paharias in a single block) is ridiculous. http://www.censusindia.gov.in/Tables_Published/Basic_Data_Sheet.aspx Sundarpahari SOURYA PAHARIA (SAURIA PAHARIA) population is 8244 according to the TRI study. (http://www.trijharkhand.org.in/Survey_reports/PTG/BLOCK%20WISE%20PTG/block_wise_part2/GODDA.htm) The Tribal Research Institute figures are closer to the language figures in the Census and very different from the district datasheets. Basic Data Sheet District Godda Scheduled Tribes (Largest three) 1.Santhal 196,774 2.Mal Pahariya 18,652 3.Oraon 6,793 -this does not even mention the Sauria Paharias! Conclusion-The Census site needs to be corrected. Somebody who is confusing various communities has entered the aggregate data in the summary sheets. Prabir
