History

Bhadrak is an ancient land noted in legends dating from the age of the puranas, contributing to Odisha's maritime & agrarian prosperity, trade and commerce down the ages and recorded in History. Since the inception of Abul Fazal's Ain-e-Akabari. The ancientry of this land is eloquently testified by the gigantic tank of Asura, the Buddhist relics of the Seventh and Eight Centuries discovered in Khadipada and Solampur, the villages of Dhamnagar, the Budddist caves in Sarisua Hill near Kupari and the mysterious temple of Biranchinarayan in the village Palia, a parallel to the Sun Temple at Konark. The last battle to vindicate the freedom of Odisha was fought in a village called Gohiratikiri, on the bank of the river Genguti near Dhamnagar in 1568 in which the defeated king Mukunda Dev lost his life. In 1575 the Muslim population settled down in Bhadrak following the discomfiture of the Afghans under Usman at the hand of Raja Mansingh. In Mughal period Bhadrak remained a subah under the Nawabs of Bengal. When the imperial powers of the Mughals waned, the zone consisted of some principalities like Kanika, Ampo and Agarapada with a few administrative sub-units called Chowparhies such as Kubera, Talapada, Nadigaon, Kasimpur, Kurigaon, Bindha etc., all ruled by Kshatriya Chiefs with patriotic temper.Also the famous Akhandalamani temple is situated in the bank of river baitrani.

    All We Got is Us

    by: Pete Rock

    [Intro x5: Children singing]
    "Ain't no second time to appreciate"
    [Verse 1: C.L. Smooth]
    First of all, you better count your blessings
    When you got C.L. now you got bad boy, your connections
    In return, while we live and we learn, then you know what it is
    To only build a bigger future for the kids
    In peace, in war, lets take it to the floor
    Every time we take two steps the crowd takes four
    Lay the heat, how I come to the street, how I cut through the beef
    Let me handle that, that's why you make me chief
    It's packed, what they want in this here
    Can we weather the storm, six minutes, C.L. Smooth you're on
    All the anger and the fear, was in the dressing room prayer
    That we came out to light it up and put it in the air
    That's real, so holler back at ya boy, step aside Leroy
    To all my ladies, who want tickets, enjoy, cause
    I spit it and you gotta get with it and you'll never forget it
    Yes, I want the best out, count 'em all
    [Chorus]
    "Ain't no second time to appreciate"
    To the fans and to all my people that supported us
    "Ain't no second time to appreciate"
    To the mama and the daddy and everything they taught us
    "Ain't no second time to appreciate"
    Tell them kids they gotta stay in school or ride with us
    "Ain't no second time to appreciate"
    When it all goes down, baby, All We Got Is Us
    [Verse 2: C.L. Smooth]
    You tell 'em this is history in the making, avoiding disasters
    This run is for the green jacket, I fit, the masters
    My crew havin' business, save, put it in through my office
    The security is tight and the secretary is gorgeous
    That's official, me and Pete in the lab, that's what they want
    Pushin that real hip hop, up to the front
    The game's been good to me, preserved my youth
    Not only, did it capture my goals and told me the truth
    Look out my hustle, made a living, paid and driven
    See why they tour around the world came to save us from prison
    It's great, I rather love than hate
    You think it fell out the sky, I'm here to tell you, why believe in faith
    Hard work, payin of and them wishes comin' true
    Bolt open and you out to lunch, and left us two
    Now you know we can't let that pass to get that cash
    We in the big numbers, count 'em all
    [Chorus]
    [Verse 3: C.L. Smooth]
    Why my Uncle Doc left me everything when he died, and
    When pop passed, two weeks later I cried, and
    When great grandma left it all went crazy now
    All I had left was grandma Pam, that's my baby
    Can't talk bad about me, she tell 'em, why we need to give her
    All those roses while she could smell 'em
    I live this moment used to stay how we was
    How my mother came to her in a dream and told her
    Corey will come out of this deep dark depression, stand by me
    Give my insight a resurrection and heal me
    And feel me, what you got is to love, got a thing
    This little woman who brought back the thug, let's grind
    Ghetto's Of The Mind while I'm in my prime
    I left, so y'all can catch up, I'm ahead of my time
    Your legacy and that lazy boy say it ain't fear
    My next generation triple my digits, add 'em up like
