Gopinath Mohanty, eminent Oriya novelist of the Mid-twentieth century. He joined the Odisha Administrative Service in 1938. Most of his service career was spent among the poor tribal of the undivided Koraput district. So in his novel Paraja he explores the vibrant life of people of Orissa, rural as well as tribal. And also he explores all aspects of Orissan life: life, both in the plains and in the hills. The Paraja people are exploited by the non tribal. Gopinath has tried his hand at various literary forms; it is for his novels that he will be best remembered. He said in an interview to Indian Literary Review: “Fiction, I realized, would best suit my purpose.” He novel portrays and interprets several dimensions of human existence.
